Paul Carus’ Buddhism and Its Christian Critics (1894) is a defense of Buddhism against Western misconceptions, particularly those from Christian scholars. Carus compares Buddhist and Christian teachings, highlighting Buddhism’s rational, ethical, and non-dogmatic nature. He argues that Buddhism aligns with scientific thought and moral progress, challenging claims that it is pessimistic or inferior to Christianity. Carus presents Buddha as a profound ethical teacher and Buddhism as a universal philosophy rather than mere religion. By addressing common critiques, he promotes interfaith understanding and advocates for Buddhism’s relevance in the modern world, bridging Eastern and Western spiritual and philosophical traditions.

Paul Carus (1852–1919) was a German-American philosopher, editor, and scholar of comparative religion. Advocating monism, scientific rationalism, and religious harmony, he sought to reconcile science and spirituality. As editor of The Open Court and The Monist, he promoted intellectual dialogue. His influential works, including The Gospel of Buddha (1894) and The History of the Devil (1900), explored philosophy, Buddhism, Christianity, and ethics. Influenced by Kant, Spencer, and Goethe, Carus emphasized a universal philosophy rooted in reason. His legacy endures in bridging Eastern and Western thought, shaping modern Buddhist studies, religious philosophy, and discussions on faith and science.
