Synopsis

""Introduction to the Science of Religion"" is a book written by F. Max Muller, which comprises four lectures delivered at the Royal Institution and two essays on false analogies and the philosophy of mythology. The book is an exploration of the scientific study of religion, examining the origins, development, and nature of religious beliefs and practices across different cultures and time periods. Muller argues that religion is a fundamental aspect of human culture and that it can be studied scientifically through the analysis of language, mythology, and ritual. He also discusses the role of false analogies in the study of religion and the importance of understanding the philosophical underpinnings of mythological narratives. Overall, ""Introduction to the Science of Religion"" is a thought-provoking and informative book that provides a comprehensive introduction to the study of religion from a scientific perspective.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
