Ancient Greece and China Compared is a pioneering, methodologically
sophisticated set of studies, bringing together scholars who all
share the conviction that the sustained critical comparison and
contrast between ancient societies can bring to light significant
aspects of each that would be missed by focusing on just one of
them. The topics tackled include key issues in philosophy and
religion, in art and literature, in mathematics and the life
sciences (including gender studies), in agriculture, city planning
and institutions. The volume also analyses how to go about the task
of comparing, including finding viable comparanda and avoiding the
trap of interpreting one culture in terms appropriate only to
another. The book is set to provide a model for future
collaborative and interdisciplinary work exploring what is common
between ancient civilisations, what is distinctive of particular
ones, and what may help to account for the latter.
