Comparing is one of the most essential practices, in our everyday
life as well as in science and humanities. In this in-depth
philosophical analysis of the structure, practice and ethics of
comparative procedures, Hartmut von Sass expands on the
significance of comparison. Elucidating the ramified structure of
comparing, von Sass suggests a typology of comparisons before
introducing the notion of comparative injustice and the limits of
comparisons. He elaborates on comparing as practice by relating
comparing to three relative practices - orienting, describing, and
expressing oneself - to unfold some of the most important chapters
of what might be called comparativism. This approach allows von
Sass to clarify the idea of the incomparable, distinguish between
different versions of incomparability and shed light on important
ethical aspects of comparisons today. Confronting the claim that we
are living in an age of comparisons, his book is an important
contribution to ideas surrounding all-encompassing measurements and
scalability and their critique.
