  FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER - LoveToKnow Article on FRIEDRICH MAX MULLER   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
Up to this time Max Muller had lived the life of a poor student, supporting himself partly by copying manuscripts, but Bunsens introductions to Queen Victoria and the prince consort, and to Oxford University, laid the foundation for him of fame and fortune.
Max Muller was speedily subjugated by the genius loci.
Though Max Mullers reputation was that of a comparative philologist and orientalist, his professional duties at Oxford were long confined to lecturing on modern languages, or at least their medieval forms.

 Max Müller - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Friedrich Max Müller (December 6, 1823 – October 28, 1900), more commonly known as Max Müller, was a German-born British Philologist and Orientalist, one of the founders of Indian studies, who virtually created the discipline of comparative religion.
Muller attempted to reach a philosophy of religion that addressed the crisis of faith that was engendered by the historical and critical study of religion by German scholars on the one hand, and by the Darwinian revolution on the other (compare Matthew Arnold's "Dover Beach").
He analyzed mythologies as rationalizations of natural phenomena, primitive beginnings that we might denominate "protoscience" within a cultural evolution; Muller's "Darwinian" concepts of the evolution of human cultures are among his least lasting achievements.

 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.
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.
Muller was sometimes inconsistent in his spelling, in English translit­erations of foreign words and phrases, and in his use of accent and stress marks.

Max Muller is of the former, anthropologists are of the latter, opinion.
Max Muller found a myth of the Sun or of the Dawn, these scholars were apt to see a myth of the wind, of the lightning, of the thunder-cloud, of the crepuscule, of the upper air, of what each of them pleased.
Max Muller, unless I misunderstand him, regards as referring to the 'new school,' and, notably, to M. Gaidoz and myself, though such language ought not to apply to M. Gaidoz, because he is a scholar.

And even Professor Max Muller, in his mythological moods, is compelled to confess, at leas concerning certain portions of the Vedas, that their words are yaugika.
And since, even according to the confessions of Max Muller, higher truths of philosophy and monotheism are to found there and there in the Vedas, it has become difficult to reconcile the mythological interpretation of the main part of the Vedas with the philosophical portions.
Professor Max Muller translates the “devajata” of the mantra as “sprung from the gods.” This is again wrong, for he again takes deva in its popular (laukika) sense, God; whereas devajata means ‘with brilliant qualities manifested, or evoked to work by learned men”: the word deva meaning both brilliant qualities and learned men.

The Essential Max Muller: On Language, Mythology, and Religion
Max Müller is often referred to as the “father of Religious Studies,” having himself coined the term "science of religion" (or religionswissenschaft) in 1873.
It was he who encouraged the comparative study of myth and ritual, and it was he who introduced the oft-quoted dictum: “He who knows one [religion], knows none.” Though a German-born and German-educated philologist, he spent the greater part of his career at Oxford, becoming one of the most famous of the Victorian arm-chair scholars.
