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).
