Über den Autor

Friedrich Max Müller was a prominent philologist and orientalist, renowned for his work in the study of language, religion, and mythology. Born in Germany, he became one of the foremost scholars of his time, particularly noted for his contributions to the understanding of the relationship between language and culture. Müller was instrumental in bringing the ancient texts of India to the Western world, notably through his translations and interpretations of the Vedas, which significantly influenced the field of comparative religion.

Müller’s academic career was marked by his role as a professor at Oxford University, where he delivered the Gifford Lectures that emphasized the importance of natural religion and the comparative study of religions. His works, including "Chips from a German Workshop" and "Contributions to the Science of Mythology," reflect his deep engagement with mythological themes and his endeavor to bridge Eastern and Western thought. Through his scholarly efforts, Müller established a legacy that shaped the study of religion and linguistics for generations to come.
