Pseudo-Aristotelův Physiognomicus a okolnosti jeho vzniku

Tomáš Vítek

The article is devoted file Physiognomica, which has long been incorrectly associated with the name of Aristotle. The main reason for this step was Aristotle's attitude fysiognómonice to, on the one hand admitted and used some of their practices (especially in its zoological writings), refused to hand some of its basic propositions (especially direct and innate nature of correspondence between features and exterior). Author or editor file was probably peripatetik acting on the end of the 4th century BC. Contradictory relationship between the first and second parts of the file indicates originally two separate treatise two authors, on the contrary, a large degree of conformity in optics, methodology and terminology refers rather to a single authorship. So far, this dispute can not be legitimately decide. In the rest of the article, the author charts the source and inspiration of which could instead be based, and outlines its impact and the subsequent fate. To the article is attached as an annex to the new Czech translation of the first part of the file (ie. So. A treatise).
