Why I Developed Humanmorphology

Fundamentals
Verfasst von Lazar Lazić

One question has fascinated me for as long as I can remember: what does it mean to be human? Why does a person behave the way they do — and how do they manage, at the same time, to give their life meaning and fulfilment?

A face is not only form, it is also movement. When part of it goes still, it is not your appearance that changes – it is what other people read in you.

No single field could answer my core questions. Why genetics, neurobiology, psychology and philosophy grew into a field of their own – and what it is meant to answer.

On my own journey through time the most varied subjects have touched me, always out of the same wish: to still my insatiable hunger for answers about understanding people.

Those subjects included the natural sciences — genetics, epigenetics, neurobiology — as much as the humanities: psychology, philosophy, metaphysics. To name only a few.

Not one single field could answer my core questions, not even in outline. So out of that conglomerate of tools for understanding people I developed a field of my own: humanmorphology. The intention behind it was a value-free and more enlightened understanding of the individual human being — entirely in the sense that form always follows function.

The aim was, and still is, that a person recognises and grasps themselves in their wholeness — body, soul, mind, nature — more easily and more quickly. So that they can answer: who am I really? And what is my true task?
