المسألة الدينية عند ماكس موللر، من الفيلولوجيا المقارنة إلى تأسيس علم الأديان

Abstract

This research aims to shed light on the beginnings of Western Philosophy's interest in the science of religions, and the approach to the religious phenomenon from a human sciences perspective rather than a theological one by studying the contributions of the German, Max Muller, founder of this branch of knowledge, and taking a closer look at the scientific milestones forming the basis of his knowledge, and his awareness of many problems the most important of which is the philological comparison of the Indo-European languages and how the structure of their myths, would eventually lead to the study of the origin of religion,therefore setting benchmarks for the study of religions through questioning intellectual issues using the tools of the analytical method
