Philosophical Issues in Geography—An Introduction
Topoi 20 (2):119–130 (2001)
Abstract
An outline of the wealth of philosophical material that hides behind the flat world of geographic maps, with special reference to (i) the centrality of the boundary concept, (ii) the problem of vagueness, and (iii) the metaphysical question (if such there be) of the identity and persistence conditions of geographic entities.Author's Profile
