"The philosophic hand -- philosophy, analysis, logical, scientific, deduction, facts, research, truth, progress." The caption doesn't say this is the hand of a philosophic person but rather that it embodies philosophy, analysis, logic, scientism, deduction, facticity, research, truth, and progress. Therefore, the illustration is transformed into a talisman, akin to the Hand of Fatima. From New Discoveries in Palmistry by Joseph Bryant Hargett, 1901.
