Carus was born in Usenburg, Germany, hi 1852. He was educated at
the Universities of Strass burg and Tubingen, from the latter of
which he received the doctorate of philosophy in 1876. It was,
however, in the United States, to which he shortly after removed,
that his life-work was performed. He became editor of the Open
Court in 1888, and later established The Monist, remaining
throughout his career, editor of these two peri odicals and
Director of the editorial policies of the Open Court Company. He
died in February, 1919, at La Salle, Illinois. The primary
interests which actuated Dr. Caruss life work were in the field of
philosophy, touching with almost equal weight the two great phases
of modern speculative concern represented by the philosophy of
science and com parative religion. To each of these he devoted
numerous special studies, and to each he gave the influence of the
press which he directed. This influence was in no sense narrow or
specialistic. Dr. Caxus was personally pro foundlyconcerned for the
broadening of that understand ing in all intellectual fields which
he felt must be the foundation of whatever is to be valuable in our
future human culture he saw his philosophy never as a closet
pursuit, but always as a quest for the social illumination of
mankind, in which his hope of betterment lay. In this interest he
combatted prejudice, in religion and science alike, seeking to
divest the spirit of truth of all cloaking of formula, and turning
with eager and open x THE PAUL CARUS FOUNDATION eyes in every
direction in which there was a suggestion of light and leading to
men and to thought of every com plexion and to all levels of active
human concern with matters of reflection. Dr. Cams was, in fact,
strongly Socratic in disposition he wished to bring philosophy down
from the skies of a too studied abstraction and habituate it to the
houses of mens souls and to the rich and changing tides of cultural
interests. Certainly so far as America is concerned his service is
a signal one. During much of his career he stood almost alone as a
philosopher outside academic walls, a living exponent of the fact
that philosophy is significant as a force as well as useful as an
educational discipline. He looked to the cultivation of philosophy
as a frame of mind open to all, lay and professional, who should
come to see that social liberty is made secure only where there is
growth of a sympathetic public intelligence. It is with the spirit
and intention of Dr. Caruss life work in mind that his family have
established in his memory the Paul Cams Lectures. In the United
States, foundations devoted to the cultivation of philosophy are so
confined to scholastic institutions that thewhole field of
philosophic concern tends to assume the slant of an immured and
scholastic discipline and the observer is tempted to say that the
greatest gift that can befall philosophic liberalism is one that
will cause its followers to forget their professional character.
Such a gift, certainly, is more than suggested by a lectureship
which comes with no institutional atmosphere to further the free
play of the mind upon all phases of life...
