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.
