This quote suggests that by comparing one's own society with others, there is a greater opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of one's own society. While it is valid to prioritize the study of one's own society, drawing comparisons and observing differences with other societies allows for a broader perspective.

All forms of beauty, like all possible phenomena, contain an element of the eternal and an element of the transitory -- of the absolute and of the particular. Absolute and eternal beauty does not exist, or rather it is only an abstraction creamed from the general surface of different beauties. The particular element in each manifestation comes from the emotions: and just as we have our own particular emotions, so we have our own beauty.
