Colleagues - I am looking for some references to a theory of comparison - an
explanation why we compare things as knowledge creation. For example, to
measure the length of something is to compare it to a standard; to question
people can be seen as comparing their experiences. I am aware of comparative
theories in history, sociology, religion etc, and am more interested in a
philosophical (clarifying concepts) or sociological explanation than a strong
cognitive science one. Am I making sense - any ideas?
Regards and thanks,
Mike Metcalfe
