Review:
"Hocart can still inspire, and this new collection of nine essays is now the best introduction to his style of thought. The range of the essays is impressive, an indication of Hocart's breadth. . . . Valuable to any scholar concerned about the role of comparison in the study of religion."—Religious Studies Review"The collection of essays in Imagination and Proof ranges over problems great and small—the nature of evidence, the structure of the Indo-European kinship system, the reasons why certain gods in diverse cultures are represented icongraphically with many arms. . . . Hocart's approach is exhilarating, unafraid but not reckless. . . . Refreshingly direct style."—Cambridge Anthropology
