Friedrich Max Müller, a German comparative philologist and Orientalist, made key contributions to the development of Western academic fields including Indology and religious studies. He wrote scholarly and accessible works on Indology, supervised the production of the Sacred Books of the East series, and served as a professor at Oxford University in modern languages and comparative philology. Müller’s career was notable for his changing perspectives on India, controversies over his opinions on Christianity and evolution, and his important insights into Aryan culture and language groups.
