Synopsis
Fundamental Problems: The Method of Philosophy as a Systematic Arrangement of Knowledge is a philosophical book written by Paul Carus. The book explores the fundamental problems of philosophy and presents a systematic arrangement of knowledge. Carus argues that philosophy is not just a collection of abstract ideas but a practical discipline that helps us understand the world around us. The book is divided into three parts: the first part deals with the nature of knowledge, the second part with the nature of reality, and the third part with the nature of ethics. Carus draws on ideas from various philosophical traditions, including Kant, Hegel, and Nietzsche, to provide a comprehensive and accessible overview of the subject. The book is aimed at students of philosophy and anyone interested in understanding the fundamental problems of human existence. Overall, Fundamental Problems is a thought-provoking and insightful work that challenges readers to think deeply about the nature of reality, knowledge, and ethics.1891. Carus, an independent philosopher who studied and published on Eastern and Western philosophy, was instrumental in raising Western awareness of Buddhism at the turn of the century. Carus writes in the Preface that: The view here presented, in spite of all our differences with Kant, may be considered as the natural outcome of Kant's philosophy. The view here presented unites two qualities which may appear contradictory at first sight. It is radical, and at the same time conservative...and, Our fundamental conceptions of world and life, therefore, for practical purposes, for our individual welfare, for the destiny of our nation and for that of humanity, are of greatest importance. On the philosophy of our age depends the health of our religious, our scientific, our industrial, our mercantile, our political and our social development.

From the Back Cover
Carus sought, as a philosopher, to reconcile the spiritual with scientific and to bring a certain rigor to thinking regarding philosophy itself: he saw it as "the science of sciences" and advocated a rational, not an emotional, approach.
Here, in this 1891 work, he endeavors to address some of the basic problems that have haunted philosophers since time immemorial from this new direction, exploring ideas about sensation and memory, causality, nature, the knowable and the unknowable, idealism and realism, and many others.
Collected from essays published in The Open Court, the magazine of philosophy and religion Carus edited for many years, this is vital reading for anyone eager to understand the state of modern philosophy.
American philosopher and theologian PAUL CARUS (1852-1919) also wrote The Religion of Science (1893), The Gospel of Buddha (1894), and The History of the Devil (1900).
