How to Study Character

Zusatztext

How to Study Character by Thomas Alexander Hyde is a keenly observed guide on how to truly understand a person's character - not through superficial impressions, but through a methodical, 'true' basis for the science of the mind. The focus is on the idea that thinking, feeling and acting can be explained by observable causes and that a thorough investigation of humans requires more than mere speculation. The book becomes particularly engaging through an in-depth engagement with Alexander Bain's critique of the phrenological system: Hyde thereby targets a central current of the time. How to Study Character - Or, the true basis for the science of mind. Including a review of Alexander Bain's criticism of the phrenological system is an unchanged, high-quality reprint of the original edition of 1884.
