About the author
Open Court Publishing Company was founded in 1887 by Edward C. Hegeler. From early on, it was shaped by editor Paul Carus, who helped define its mission as a place for serious discussion about religion, philosophy, psychology, and science.
The company is especially noted for publishing both books and journals, including The Open Court and The Monist. Sources consistently describe it as one of the earlier academic presses in the United States, and as a publisher that worked to offer affordable editions of important classics.
In more recent decades, Open Court has also been associated with accessible idea-driven series such as Popular Culture and Philosophy, which brought philosophical themes to books about well-known shows and stories. Because this is a publishing company rather than an individual author, a portrait-style author image was not confirmed.
