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
