ABSTRACT
The contention that geography is a “spatial'’discipline is often interpreted to mean that a set of laws are uniquely geographic in their structure. From the viewpoint of the structure of scientific explanations, such a suggestion is unwarranted and ill-advised. With trivial exceptions, all explanations, except those of synthetic geometry, can answer aspects of geographic questions.
