Pages: 289--309
This story divulged a powerful secret of nature: physical constitution simultaneously influenced and revealed a person's character, but the desires of the flesh need not govern the soul. What the scientia of physiognomy unveiled, the scientia of medicine corrected. Man's material nature was both knowable and changeable. In this respect, physiognomy and medicine could be seen as integral parts of moral philosophy; together they offered a person a guide for how to be healthy and good.
