The Works of Lavater

"Works of Lavater" refers to the writings of Johann Kaspar Lavater, an 18th-century Swiss philosopher and physiognomist. He believed that a person's character and personality could be inferred from their facial features and expressions. Lavater's work involved analyzing faces to understand personality traits, emphasizing that physical appearance could reveal inner qualities. Though largely regarded today as pseudoscience, his ideas influenced psychology, art, and how we perceive human character. His writings combined philosophical insights with detailed observations, shaping debates about the connection between physical features and personal identity.
