Project Gutenberg 1998-12-01 Public domain in the USA. 69 Myerson, Abraham 1881 1948 The Foundations of Personality Scanned by Charles Keller with OmniPage Professional OCR software "The Foundations of Personality" by Abraham Myerson, M.D., is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex interplay between organic and environmental factors in shaping human personality and character. Myerson, a neurologist, delves into the biological underpinnings of personality, emphasizing the influence of both the physical body and social environments on individual behavior and identity. At the start of the book, Myerson sets the stage by highlighting the practical significance of understanding character in our lives and interpersonal relationships. He critiques traditional methods of character assessment, such as physiognomy and phrenology, arguing that they lack scientific credibility. Instead, Myerson posits that a true understanding of character must take into account the underlying biological mechanisms, including brain health and hormonal activity, as well as the social and environmental contexts into which individuals are born. He aims to dismiss metaphysical explanations and thoroughly examine the organic basis of personality, ensuring the discussion remains grounded in empirical science and everyday experience.
