Teaching the philosophy of geography

Pages 3-9 | Published online: 25 Feb 2007
 

Abstract

There are important links between geography and philosophy which become obscured when we think of philosophy only in terms of the highly systematic and technical issues which professional philosophers address. I argue that the best procedure for teaching the philosophy of geography is to show how philosophical issues arise from geographical assumptions, concepts, and problems and not vice versa; and I give an example by exploring some of the philosophical assumptions we make in our normally accepted practice in locating things in space and determining their relationships.
