| | Max Muller |
 | | Max Muller was a strong, loud, and sometimes lone voice in many of the major intellectual and political debates of his time, especially over the implications of the reigning Indo-European (or Aryan) linguistic theories on the legitimacy of British colonial rule. |
 | | As a result, those that have been included represent a mere sampling of his voluminous output, but a sampling, nevertheless, that presents to the reader the range of Muller's research interests in the origins of language, mythology, and religion. |
 | | In addition, in view of Muller's wide-ranging interests in the comparative study of religion, mythology, folklore, linguistics, metaphysics, and human cognition, the selections in this "essential Max Muller" should be of interest to scholars and students in fields as diverse as religious studies, philosophy, anthropology, early linguistic theory, and the history of Western ideas. |
