Comparing the Incomparable by Marcel Detienne
A deliberately post-deconstructionist manifesto against the dangers of incommensurability, Marcel Detienne's book argues for and engages in the constructive comparison of societies of a great temporal and spatial diversity.
Marcel Detienne is Basil L. Gildersleeve Professor of Classics at Johns Hopkins University. Amongst his books that have appeared in English translation are The Writing of Orpheus (2002), and, with Giulia Sissa, The Daily Life of the Greek Gods (Stanford, 2000).
