Considering Comparison: A Method for Religious Studies
Freiberger, Oliver (Associate Professor of Asian Studies and Religious Studies, Associate Professor of Asian Studies and Religious Studies, University of Texas, Austin)
The comparative method is an integral part of religious studies, but has been subject to criticism, however, including postcolonialist and postmodernist critiques. Freiberger proposes a model of comparison called discourse comparison that is based on a thorough epistemological analysis and takes both the scholar's situatedness and personal agency seriously.
