   Author's Comments:
   In discussing aspects of Eisenstadt's intellectual journey, use is made of a metaphor from Homer's Odyssey.

   Abstract:
   The comparative research of Eisenstadt made room for 'tradition' as a creative feature of modernity. His ultimate concern was to build on classical themes of sociology and theories of social change to develop an adequate understanding of an evolving civilization of modernity. He based his research in part on far-flung travels and observations of the dynamics of Israeli society.
