Abstract
This is a review essay of 'Epistemology and Methodology of Comparative Law' (2004) which is a book edited by Mark Van Hoecke. The idea is not to be content with merely describing the volume; instead, it will be sought commenting on the book personally and also expanding on some of the main themes. As a result the outcome should reflect not only on the volume but also the opinions and ideas of this author. In this essay there are three main themes: macro-comparative law, the European private-law-centred legal debate, and the theory of comparative law.
Keywords: comparative law, methdology, epistemology
