Abstract
The duality of sea and land (the continent-ocean dichotomy) is an established principle of the geopolitics. The analysis performed in this study shows that the definition of this duality has its foundation in the J.G. Herders philosophy of history. J.G. Herder described the Earth as the jarring of elements, the mutual action of sea and land upon each other. According to J.G. Herder, the island and continental societies are markedly different throughout every area of society. In his view, these differences are due to the fact that the element of the sea requires mobility, while the element of the land requires immutability. Therefore, states of the corresponding type crystallize in habitats of a certain type.
