The Problem of Ground in Comparative Philosophy

In comparative philosophy, there arises the problem of ground for comparison. Qualitative comparison is based on a certain qualitative comparison, e.g., weight. Quantitative brings more clarity into introducing discrete and homogeneous units: how much does it weigh? How cost? Both quantitative start from that already given clear; they simply apply to case at hand (Is this one heavier than other? If so, by much?). other—and interesting—cases, common obscure: we have feeling A B can be compared, but exactly? The inability immediately proceed application creates tension, opens intensive dimension intensity has two sides: obscure clear. side its articulations, interpenetrate each other. Our task unfold, unravel, unpack. Then will bring something where elements do not so are juxtaposed (in different qualities quantities). This give rise new tensions unfolding. articulations resemble clear ones, their unfolding creative process.
