YOU ARE WHAT YOU WILL: KANT, SCHOPENHAUER, FACIAL EXPRESSION OF EMOTION, AND AFFECTIVE COMPUTING.
Recent developments in the cognitive sciences have advanced the techniques of reading emotions on the human face. Paul Ekman has formalised the study of 'micro-expressions', universal ways in which emotions are embedded and expressed in the human face, and the field of 'affective computing' has empl...

Paul Ekman has formalised the study of 'micro-expressions', universal ways in which emotions are embedded and expressed in the human face, and the field of 'affective computing' has employed software to allow facial expressions of emotion to be read and evaluated by digital technology. Such developments raise fundamental philosophical issues concerning the relationship between external physical signs on the body and internal, otherwise invisible characteristics of human nature. While this relationship lies at the heart of the centuries-old field of physiognomy in general, this essay explores discussions of it by Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) and Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860). Neuere Entwicklungen in den kognitiven Wissenschaften haben neue Techniken entwickelt, um im menschlichen Gesicht ausgedrückte Emotionen zu interpretieren. Paul Ekman hat das Studium von 'micro-expressions' formalisiert, um universale Ausdrücke von Emotionen im menschlichen Gesicht präzise zu identifizieren. Im Feld des 'affective computing' benutzt man Software, um emotionale Gesichtsausdrücke mit digitalen Technologien zu lesen und zu bewerten. Solche Entwicklungen werfen grundlegende philosophische Fragen auf nach der Beziehung zwischen äußerlichen physischen Zeichen am menschlichen Körper und innerlichen, sonst unsichtbaren Eigenschaften der menschlichen Natur. Während diese Beziehung seit Jahrhunderten zentral für die Physiognomik im Allgemeinen ist, untersucht dieser Aufsatz ihre Behandlung bei Immanuel Kant (1724-1804) und Arthur Schopenhauer (1788-1860). pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y dt: @attributes: year: 2017 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
