Über diesen Titel

Inhaltsangabe

""Introduction to the Science of Religion"" is a collection of four lectures delivered by F. Max Muller at the Royal Institution, along with two essays on false analogies and the philosophy of mythology. Muller, a renowned scholar of comparative religion, explores the origins and development of religion as a human phenomenon, drawing on a wide range of sources from across the world. He examines the role of language, myth, and ritual in shaping religious beliefs and practices, and discusses the ways in which different cultures have approached questions of the divine. Muller also critiques various theories of religion, including those that seek to reduce it to a purely natural or psychological phenomenon. Throughout the book, he emphasizes the importance of approaching religion as a subject of scientific inquiry, rather than simply as a matter of personal belief or faith. This accessible and thought-provoking work remains a classic in the field of religious studies.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
