ABSTRACT

Character is the fi xed individual form of a human being. Since this form is compounded of body and mind, a general characterology must teach the signifi - cance of both physical and psychic features. The enigmatic oneness of the living organism has as its corollary the fact that bodily traits are not merely physical, nor mental traits merely psychic. The continuity of nature knows nothing of those antithetical distinctions which the human intellect is forced to set up as aids to understanding.
