Max Müller (6 September 1906 – 18 October 1994) was a German philosopher and influential post–World War II Catholic intellectual.
At this time he was active in the Catholic Youth Movement who were influenced by their study with Martin Heidegger, generating their own thinking in engagement with his philosophy.
Falling foul of Nazi educational policies, Müller was dismissed by Heidegger from research positions.
The "transcendental experience" of humans is created in personal engagement through communal achievement in the world as work.
Politics, religion, art and science, along with the personal relationships between people, carry material and symbolic means to attempt answers and achieve effective representations.
