Abstract

Discussions of modes of analysis, as well as the received wisdom about which categories to place scholars in, often obscure the breadth and nature of inquiry a particular figure engaged in. This article provides an examination of Reinhard Bendix's various uses of comparison. The author suggests that, beyond the sociohistorical comparison Bendix was known for, one should also consider his reflexive works, his work on the role of social science and claims for knowledge, and his reflections on the history of ideas, the need for conceptual clarification of terms, and the search for regularities and universals.
