India: What can it teach us?
A Course of Lectures Delivered before the University Of Cambridge
India: What Can It Teach Us? prints the seven lectures Friedrich Max Müller delivered at Cambridge in 1882 to candidates for the Indian Civil Service. Müller, who never visited India, argues that young officials should see the country not as a field for careers but as the home of a literature and a way of thinking that illuminate the earliest stage of the Indo-European mind. Lectures defend the truthfulness of the Hindus against travelers' slanders, explain the human interest of Sanskrit literature, answer objections, and devote three sessions to the Veda, its gods and the Vedanta philosophy that grew from it. This American edition from Funk and Wagnalls keeps the full text and footnotes and adds notes by Alexander Wilder. The full text is available to read online in your browser on Vinteuil, and the first chapter is free.
