CARUS, KARL GUSTAV (17891869) , German physiologist and psychologist, distinguished also as an art critic and a landscape painter, was born and educated at
Leipzig
 . After a course in
chemistry
 , he began the systematic study of
medicine
  and' in 1811 became a Privat docent. On the subject which he selected (
comparative
  anatomy) no lectures had previously been. given at
Leipzig
 , and Carus soon established a reputation as a medical teacher. In the war of 1813 he was director of the military
hospital

at Pfaffendorf, near Leipzig, and in 1814 professor to the new medical college at Dresden, where he spent the
remainder
  of his life. He was made royal physician in 1827, and a privy councillor in 1862. He died on the 28th of July 1869. In philosophy Carus belonged to the school of Schelling, and his works are thoroughly impregnated with the spirit of that
system
 . He regarded inherited tendency as a proof that the cell has a certain psychic life, and pointed out that individual differences are less marked in the lower than in the higher organisms.

System
  der Physiologie (2nd ed., 18471849); Psyche: zur Entwickelungsgeschichte der Seele (1846, 3rd ed.
