Abstract

The comparison is based on the analogy that is the process of perceiving the differences and similarities in the relationship with the other, people and objects. The issue about the other and the recognition of alterity is the basis of the knowledge of the very own identity and of the distinction in regards to the other beings. Just as sciences have a genesis and a development along the mankind history, the epistemological issues also bear a historicity. When reflecting about the truth of compared studies, about their epistemology, we see they are understandable and convincing as the sociology, the history, the anthropology, the politics, the education etc. refer to the history of their creation. There in the social subjects who produced them are present, as well as the ideologies that pervaded their ideas regarding the scientific truth. In this text, after some preliminary questions required by the handling of the issue, which are, knowledge and truth, history and historicity and the meaning of comparison, I present some reference authors who dealt with this theme and, as follows, some comparative studies I developed in previous creations regarding the matter.
