comparativist
Studies different traditions
A comparativist is a scholar who studies things by comparing them across different contexts—typically literature, religion, politics, or law from different cultures or periods.
The comparativist argued that similar flood myths appear across unrelated civilizations.
The approach emphasizes what similarities and differences reveal about underlying patterns or influences.
