But since no benchmark can be absolute, judgement is a proliferation of comparisons.Through a series of case studies in everyday and academic comparison (literature, history, politics, philosophy), Haun Saussy calls out the typical vices of comparison and proposes ways to unseat them. For however much it is abused, distorted, and manipulated, comparison retains an essential link to the idea of justice.Saussy, Are We Comparing Yet?On Standards, Justice, and IncomparabilityComparisonEthicsHistoryEurocentrismCritiqueLiteratureCultureGeneral Literature StudiesCultural TheoryCultural HistoryCultural StudiesBielefeld University PressComparisonEthicsHistoryEurocentrismCritiqueLiteratureCultureGeneral Literature StudiesCultural TheoryCultural HistoryCultural StudiesBielefeld University Press121Saussy Haun<p>Haun Saussy, University of Chicago, USA</p>aut694849Förderung Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) (SFB 1288)fndhttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/fndMiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910346051903321Are We Comparing Yet2181267UNINA
