Open Court Publishing Company
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Open Court Publishing Company is a publisher with offices in Chicago and La Salle, Illinois. It is part of the Carus Publishing Company of Peru, Illinois.
Open Court was founded in 1887 by Edward Hegeler of the Matthiessen-Hegeler Zinc Company, at one time the largest producer of zinc in the United States. Its first managing editor was Paul Carus, Hegeler's son-in-law. Open Court specializes in philosophy, science, and religion, and was one of the first academic presses in the country. It also published the journals Open Court and The Monist--the latter is still being published as of 2004.
