Chapter: To What Can I Compare Thee?

DOI: 10.1558/equinox.31040

Blurb:

This introductory chapter seeks to reveal the task and paradoxes of comparison: its naturalness, its artificiality, its failure, and its potentialities. It introduces the notion that if comparison is to be an effective method it must be historical and not phenomenological, local and not global.
