«Physiognomische Fragmente» is the physiognomic selection by Johann Caspar Lavater, edited by Christoph Siegrist, in paperback (Reclam, 414 pp., in German).
The work offers a selection of the fragments in which Lavater develops physiognomy, the discipline that aims to discern a person's character and moral qualities from facial features. The texts invite readers to observe human nature and present an eighteenth-century reflection on the relationship between physical appearance and personality.
Work number 350 of Reclams Universal-Bibliothek. The fragments come from the original Leipzig edition (Weidmann, 1775-1778).
For readers interested in philosophy, psychology, and the history of physiognomy, as well as in Lavater's work.
