The Ethical Problem: Three Lectures on Ethics as a Science

The Ethical Problem Three Lectures on Ethics as a Science by Paul Carus explores the foundation of ethics through a scientific and philosophical lens. Published in 1890, the book argues that ethics should be grounded in reason and empirical understanding rather than religious doctrine. Carus presents morality as a natural and universal human concern, shaped by logic, evolution, and social needs. His work promotes ethics as a rational discipline aimed at human progress and moral clarity.
