| Résumé anglais |
The author outlines the objectives of the research program on divination initiated in the 1950s. His own comparative remarks then bear on the rhetoric commonly employed by various groups in China and Greece, respectively, to stress either the continuity or the contrast of their own activities with divinatory practice. To this end, he delineates the available Greek sources and points out the diversity of attitudes expressed in them with respect to divination. The paper stresses how the rhetoric of demarcation, assisted by the development of epistemological analysis, sometimes concealed actual continuities between the practices.
