As a powerful tool in the production of knowledge, comparing plays
a crucial part in the sciences and the humanities. This volume
explores the relationship between comparing and narrating in
epistemic practices and clarifies the ways in which narratives
enable or impede practices of comparing. It takes into account
related activities, such as measuring and classifying, modeling,
establishing norms and categories, as well as organizing and
popularizing knowledge, to analyze the ambivalent relationship
between narratives, scientific explanation, and understanding. The
contributions bring out the epistemic role of narratives, and
elucidate how narratives are connected to comparisons and
scientific explanations.
