Max Müller

Max Müller was a 19th-century scholar of religion known for his work in comparative religion, particularly in understanding ancient texts and myths across different cultures. He emphasized the importance of language and translation in interpreting religious texts, arguing that many beliefs stem from a common human experience. Müller believed that studying religions comparatively could foster greater understanding and respect among different faiths. He is also known for popularizing the idea that all religions seek to answer fundamental questions about existence, morality, and the divine, thus highlighting the shared aspects of human spirituality.
