This book explores human expression, positing that the study of this subject has transformed from simple curiosity to a recognized science over the past century. The author argues that the work of Darwin and Mantegazza laid the foundation for the field and that Francois Delsarte discovered the practical application of philosophical methods to the speech arts. Informed by their insights, the book outlines a theory of expression that identifies three conditions of human existence â" Vital, Mental, and Emotive â" and demonstrates how these manifest through three special agents â" the Phonetic, Muscular, and Articulatory organs â" and three modes of motion, namely, Eccentric, Concentric, and Poised. The book offers a systematic approach to understanding human expression that is both comprehensive and accessible, making it valuable to students, teachers, and performers alike.
