Fundamental Problems

''Fundamental Problems: The Method of Philosophy as a Systematic Arrangement of Knowledge'' by Paul Carus is a philosophical work that explores the fundamental problems of philosophy and the method of philosophy as a systematic arrangement of knowledge. The book is divided into two parts, with the first part discussing the nature of philosophy and its relationship with science, religion, and ethics. The second part of the book focuses on the method of philosophy, including the role of logic, the nature of truth, and the importance of systematic arrangement in the pursuit of knowledge. Throughout the book, Carus argues that philosophy is a necessary discipline for understanding the world and our place in it, and that a systematic approach to knowledge is essential for making progress in the field. This work is considered a classic in the field of philosophy and is recommended reading for anyone interested in the study of philosophy and its methods.1891.
