The emergence of a new geographic knowledge: the return of science to philosophy

In the current scenario of knowledge, the separation between science and Philosophy finds its limit, searching now a new unit. Geography, in this context of knowledge, presents its failed history while modern science and, at the same time, its capacity for moving beyond the limits. Lost in its lack of investigative unit, in its schizophrenia Physical/Human, Geography deals with the nodal point of all contemporary difficulty of knowledge, in that seeks the understanding of the world unit by the relationship of man with nature. Just at this point, where all historical difficulty of geographic analysis is founded, takes form a knowledge that transcends the barrier created by the split between Philosophy and science.

Philosophy; Modern Science; Geography
