Phrenological Doctrine

from Dare to Be Random! · host Geoff Cain

This podcast is dedicated to phrenology from a manual on the subject focusing on the ideas of Franz Joseph Gall and his successor, Johann Gaspar Spurzheim. The author argues for a physiological approach to understanding human faculties, contrasting it with the abstract, speculative systems of ancient and modern philosophers who neglected the internal organization, particularly the brain, as the seat of innate propensities and talents.
