Abstract

A critique of theoretical geography on the occasion of the 10th anniversary of the publication of a Russian edition of William Bunge's Theoretical Geography. The author's two principal reservations are, one, that it relies too heavily on a “mathematization” of geography, ignoring the complex and heterogeneous phenomena that fall within the province of geography and, second, that it shifts the focus of geographical investigation from the study of real objects to an abstract “geospace.” Spacetime concepts and idealized models are also criticized.
