Riassunto

Introduction To A Scientific System Of Mythology (1844) is a book written by Carl Otfried Muller, a German scholar and philologist. The book is a comprehensive study of mythology, exploring the origins and development of myths across different cultures and societies. Muller's approach to mythology is scientific, drawing on a range of disciplines including linguistics, anthropology, and history. He argues that myths are not simply fanciful stories, but are rooted in the cultural and historical contexts in which they were created. The book covers a wide range of topics, including the role of myth in religion, the relationship between myth and language, and the ways in which myth has been used to shape cultural identity. It also includes detailed analyses of specific mythological traditions from around the world, including Greek, Roman, Indian, and Norse mythology. Overall, Introduction To A Scientific System Of Mythology is a seminal work in the field of mythology, and remains an important reference for scholars and enthusiasts alike.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
