The Surd Of Metaphysics An Inquiry Into The Question Are There Things-In-Themselves? (1903)

The Surd of Metaphysics is a philosophical treatise written by Paul Carus in 1903. The book addresses the fundamental question of whether there are ""things-in-themselves"" or if all that exists is what can be perceived by the senses. Carus delves into the history of metaphysics, exploring the ideas of philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Arthur Schopenhauer, and provides his own insights on the topic. He argues that the concept of things-in-themselves is a ""surd"" or an unsolvable problem that cannot be fully understood by human beings. The book is a thought-provoking exploration of the limits of human knowledge and the nature of reality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
