Autorenporträt
Friedrich Max Müller, known as F. Max Müller (1823-1900), was a German-born philologist and Orientalist, one of the founding figures in the Western academic fields of Indian studies and comparative religion. Müller achieved prominence as a scholar for his critical edition of the Rigveda as well as his work in the comparative study of language, myth, and religion. Educated at the Universities in Leipzig, Berlin, and Paris, Müller settled in England, where he was appointed to the first Chair of Comparative Philology at Oxford University. His scholarly pursuits were vast, but his interest in India and its ancient civilization stands as a significant contribution to Indology. In 'India: What can it teach us?' (1883), Müller presents a series of lectures that encapsulate his deep admiration and respect for Indian culture. He argues for the value of studying India's literature, religion, and philosophy, emphasizing their relevance and contribution to the world's intellectual heritage. Müller's literary style typically weaves academic rigor with an evocative enthusiasm for his subject matter, aiming to make the complex accessible to a broader audience. His scholarly approach and erudition made him a key figure in the introduction of Indian culture and spirituality to the West.
