Description

The author examines the problems of religion critically from the standpoint of biology, psychology, metaphysics, etc. He makes a minute survey of metaphysical, psychological, and political thinkers, their attitude towards religious concepts, and a critical estimate of science and scientific investigations, and in the light of these, he builds up his own rational system of thought.

About the Author
Friedrich Max Muller was a great linguist and scholar born in Germany. He began his study of Sanskrit under Prof. Brockhaus and soon chose it as his special pursuit. The East India Company commissioned him to edit the Rigveda, which resulted in the publication of six giant volumes on the subject. His publications include a Sanskrit translation of Kalidasa's Meghaduta, a History of Ancient Sanskrit Literature, and an Introduction to the Science of Religion. Before his death in 1900 at Oxford, he was crowned with the most honors and awards a scholar could aspire for.
