Summary: "My Autobiography: A Fragment" by F. Max Müller is a philosophical memoir written in the late 19th century. This autobiographical fragment provides insight into Muller's life as a scholar, particularly his thoughts on language, mythology, and religion, while offering reflections on his personal experiences and struggles as he pursued his scholarly mission. The text serves not only as a glimpse into Muller's academic journey but also as a source of inspiration for aspiring scholars facing challenges similar to those he encountered. The opening of the autobiography sets the stage for Muller's recollections, explaining his reasons for wanting to share his life story, specifically to connect with young academics and illustrate the journey one can take despite humble beginnings. He recalls his childhood in Dessau, the influence of his father's literary career, and the profound impact of his early education and family dynamics on his development. Muller's narrative blends personal anecdotes with philosophical musings, hinting at his later deep explorations in comparative philology and the connection between language and thought, while acknowledging the influence of friends, mentors, and societal circumstances that shaped his path.
