Darwin's Philosophies of Movement and Action
Number of pages:
5
ABSTRACT:
A 5 page paper discussing principles set forth in Darwin's The Expression of Emotions in Man and Animals (1899), the principles of habit, antithesis and reflex. In his three principles of actions and his categorization of them as they relate to expression, Darwin raises some valid points although he commits apparent errors of judgment in logically categorizing them. Feldenkrais' method of functional integration, based on this work of Darwin's, is working even today to aid those afflicted with errors in movement that adversely affect other parts of the body, but perhaps the greatest contribution Darwin makes in this volume is to reinforce the need to adhere to scientific method. Bibliography lists 7 sources.
