Description
I need comparative religion essay and these are guidelines for essay
500 words (or so) on Clifford Geertz’ objections to ‘comparing’, and to
‘comparative religion’
500 words (or so) on the way Geertz actually compares
500 words (or so) on the four strategies discussed by Friedenreich
500 words (or so) on which one of these strategies actually comes closest to
what Clifford Geertz does in Islam Observed
500 words with your own interpretation of how to do ‘comparative work’ in
light of the critique of Geertz and the rescue operation of Freidenreich
You are welcome, of course, to find and use additional literature, but I do not think
that it is necessary; what you have been reading alongside your own intelligence and
inventiveness should be enough. This should make it easy to reference your paper:
you basically need Geertz 1968 and Freidenreich 2004, with a bibliography of two
titles.
