An Inquiry Into Doctor Gall's System: Concerning Innate Dispositions, The Physiology Of The Brain, And Materialism, Fatalism, And Moral Liberty

An Inquiry Into Doctor Gall�������s Concerning Innate Dispositions, The Physiology Of The Brain, And Materialism, Fatalism, And Moral Liberty is a book written by James Perchard Tupper and published in 1819. The book is an investigation into the theories of Franz Joseph Gall, a German physician who developed the theory of phrenology. Phrenology is the study of the relationship between the structure of the skull and human behavior. Tupper examines Gall's theory of innate dispositions, which suggests that individuals are born with certain traits and characteristics that determine their behavior. The book also explores Gall's ideas about the physiology of the brain and how it affects behavior. Tupper discusses the concept of materialism, which is the belief that the physical world is the only reality and that mental states are the result of physical processes in the brain. He also examines the ideas of fatalism and moral liberty, which are philosophical concepts related to free will and determinism.Overall, An Inquiry Into Doctor Gall�������s System is a comprehensive examination of the theories of Franz Joseph Gall and their implications for understanding human behavior and the nature of consciousness. Tupper's analysis provides valuable insights into the history of psychology and neuroscience, and his thoughtful exploration of these complex ideas is sure to be of interest to scholars and lay readers alike.Including Some General Reflections On Prison Discipline, The Prevention Of Crimes, And The Reformation Of Malefactors, Etc.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
