Paul Carus

1852–1919

Paul Carus (1852–1919) was a German-American philosopher, writer, and editor. Born in Ilsenburg, Germany, he earned a PhD from the University of Tübingen in 1876 and emigrated to the United States in 1884, eventually settling in Illinois. He married Mary Hegeler, daughter of industrialist Edward C. Hegeler, and became the first managing editor of the Open Court Publishing Company, while also editing its periodicals, The Open Court and The Monist. Carus wrote extensively on philosophy, religion, and science and corresponded with prominent intellectual and cultural figures of his time.

FOR AUTHORS, RESEARCHERS, AND EXPERTS

xCited — Author Publicity and Authority Placement

Your Book Deserves More Than a Listing

xCited helps serious nonfiction authors, independent researchers, and experts turn a published book into a focused authority-building publicity campaign. We identify the podcasts, YouTube channels, newsletters, and media outlets whose audiences are already interested in your subject, develop compelling interview and story angles, conduct personalized outreach and follow-up, and help position you for appearances that can build readership, credibility, and long-term opportunity. Instead of paying for vague exposure or sending mass pitches into the void, you receive a campaign built around your book, expertise, message, and ideal audience.

xCited publicity services are separate from directory inclusion and editorial decisions.
