Paul Carus, Ph.D. (18 July 1852 – 11 February 1919) was a German-American author, editor, a student of comparative religion, and professor of philosophy.
Carus considered himself a theologian rather than philosopher. He is proposed to be a pioneer in the promotion of interfaith dialogue. He explored the relationship of science and religion, and was instrumental in introducing Eastern traditions and ideas to the West. He was a key figure in the introduction of Buddhism, to the West.
Memory is not simply enough, nor is it important. It is the wisdom gained, of which molds a person, holds true value. Not just a book on the Hindu belief of reincarnation. It actually is holistic, and draws on various religions and cultures on their depictions on the human soul, and life after death. It is amazing.
