Summary/Abstract: This article presents comparative studies understood as a philosophy of culture, basing upon Henry H. Remak’s definition and the ‘enumerative’ definition of culture by Edward B. Tylor. Reference is also made to the two types of Eliade’s myths and two types of paradigm as a ‘tertium comparationis’, showing – through a comparative depiction – the relationships, appearing in related texts, of the primary figures (God and Nature) and categories of culture (time and space).
