Can you tell me a short example of an ethnological analysis made by any historical thinker of the defined as classical world?
An example of a classical ethnological analysis would be from the Greek philosopher Aristotle. In his book On the Soul (Peri psukeis), Aristotle uses ethnological analysis to explain the differences between humans and animals. He argues that humans are rational beings with the ability to think and reason, while animals are more emotional and instinctual. This creates a fundamental difference between humans and animals - and, ultimately, this difference is what distinguishes humans as the highest form of life.
