Geographic thought, at any given time, reflects the interplay between dominant philosophical views and prevailing methodological approaches. The wide range of viewpoints on both philosophy and methodology has led to a continuous expansion and even shift in the disciplines' focus. While numerous journal articles have explored specific philosophies and their ties to geography, there's been no comprehensive book covering the entire field. This volume unites diverse geographic philosophies, with renowned scholars presenting each philosophy's core themes, its relation to others, its impact on geography, and its potential for geographic research.

Geographic thought, at any point in time, is a manifestation of the interaction between the prevailing philosophical viewpoints and the major methodological approaches in vogue. Because of the extreme diversity of viewpoints on both philosophy and methodology, there has been a constant extension, and even a shift, in the focus of the disciplines. Numerous journal articles have appeared presenting or discussing particular philosophies and their relationship to geography. However, there has been no single book presenting an overview of the whole field. This book puts together, in one volume, the diverse philosophies prevalent in geography. Eminent scholars each present a particular philosophy, its basic themes, its relationship to other philosophies, its impact on geography and its potential as a forum for geographic research.
