R. Lloyd. 330 $aHistorically, all societies have used comparison to analyze cultural difference through the interaction of religion, power, and translation. When comparison is a self-reflective practice, it can be seen as a form of comparatism. Many scholars are concerned in one way or another with the practice and methods of comparison, and the need for a cognitively robust relativism is an integral part of a mature historical self-placement. This volume looks at how different theories and practices of writing and interpretation have developed at different times in different cultures and reconsiders the specificities of modern comparative approaches within a variety of comparative moments. The idea is to reconsider the specificities, the obstacles, and the possibilities of modern comparative approaches in history and anthropology through a variety of earlier and parallel comparative horizons. Particular attention is given to the exceptional role of Athens and Jerusalem in shaping the Western understanding of cultural difference. 410 0$aJerusalem Studies in Religion and Culture$v24. 606 $aComparison (Philosophy) 606 $aReligions 606 $aAnthropology 606 $aHistory 615 0$aComparison (Philosophy) 615 0$aReligions. 615 0$aAnthropology. 615 0$aHistory. 676 $a121.4 700 $aGagne$b Renaud$0824867 801 0$bNL-LeKB 801 1$bNL-LeKB 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910793394903321 996 $aRegimes of comparatism$93735245 997 $aUNINA
