Passions and Tempers: A History of the Humours - Book by Noga Arikha

In this engaging historical account, Arikha traces the origins and evolution of the concept of the humoursโ€”the four bodily fluids (blood, phlegm, black bile, and yellow bile) that ancient and medieval thinkers believed determined personality and health. The book explores how this theory influenced Western medicine, philosophy, and cultural ideas about temperament.
