| Résumé: | The comparative method is a formalization of the comparison that is unavoidable in any attempt at cross-cultural analysis.

This article reviews the issues raised about comparison in anthropology, the social science that has as its enduring goal a holistic understanding of all human societies and that consequently has made greater use of comparison - and accordingly has subjected it to greater scrutiny - than any other discipline. |
