So, Wesley Wildman’s ambitious book, by cover and title alone, comes across as daring, wide-ranging, and complex. It is also, as it will turn out in reading it, both highly and explicitly normative and prescriptive. Now, as the title includes the concept of Multidisciplinary Comparative Inquiry, the reader might think that we are faced with an essay on “methodological normativity”—that is, reflections on how we might best proceed in our academic pursuits.
