ABSTRACT: THE SMILE: A VIRTUAL AND VIRTUOUS
EXPRESSION
In the theory of Helmuth Plessner,
an eminent contemporary philosopher
of anthropology, smile is a miming
expression independent from laugh.
Laugh represents an interruption of
a special situation: it is a
manifestation of disorder and
confusion. Smile is on the contrary
a controlled mediation of man in
regards to the world. The nature of
smile is usually refined and
mitigating; it can reveal, to a
careful look, a lot of sensation and
psychical conditions. Ultimately,
smile is the must virtual and
virtuous expression of human
eccentricity.
