Max Müller is a scholarly collection of essays primarily focused on the science of language, written in the late 19th century. The volume consists of lectures and writings that explore various topics within comparative philology, the study of languages and their historical relationships, alongside addressing broader aspects of linguistic studies. The opening of this volume sets the stage by emphasizing the significance of establishing a chair of Comparative Philology at Oxford University, marking a notable moment in the academic recognition of language sciences. Müller discusses the need for a robust approach to teaching and researching languages, while lamenting the historical neglect of subjects like Sanskrit and comparative grammar within English universities. He lays out his objective as a professor to treat classical languages with new methodologies informed by Comparative Philology, while also advocating for a collaborative environment where students and scholars can further enrich their understanding through collective efforts.
