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

""The Surd of Metaphysics"" is a philosophical inquiry into the question of whether there are things-in-themselves, written by Paul Carus and published in 1903. Carus explores the concept of metaphysics, which deals with the fundamental nature of reality and existence, and questions whether it is possible to know the true nature of things beyond our perception of them. He examines the arguments for and against the existence of things-in-themselves, drawing on the works of philosophers such as Kant, Hegel, and Schopenhauer. Carus ultimately argues that while we may never know the true nature of reality, it is still important to pursue knowledge and understanding through scientific and philosophical inquiry. The book offers a thought-provoking exploration of one of the most fundamental questions in philosophy and remains relevant to contemporary debates in metaphysics and epistemology.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
