  • Chapter
  • First Online:
The Philosophy of Geography

Part of the book series: Springer Geography ((SPRINGERGEOGR))

Abstract

Do we need aside or above the productions of sciences a ‘philosophy of…’ which would dub the scientific speech by another speech in the same way as the language dubbing of a film? This text answers ‘no’ and proposes alternative, contemporary interactions between social science and philosophy. These interactions could replace the traditional hierarchical arborescence with collaborative spirals which take seriously the inter-register cognitive dialogue.
