Description: Professional organization promotes discussion between the disciplines. Includes membership and contact information.
Society for Philosophy and Geography For at least a decade there has been a marked increase in the interests of philosophers and geographers in each others' work. Philosophers appreciate the synthetic approach of geographers, and find their philosophy improved by the concrete, grounded examples of geographic work. Geographers are, for their part, eager to move beyond description and explanation of the earth as the home of humankind and undertake evaluation. They are, however, aware of the need to ground these evaluations in something more formal and defensible than personal conviction. While there has not yet been much formal discussion directly between the two disciplines, there has been some interesting work at the border of these two fields. It is very common now to hear members of both fields discussing issues concerning the status of spatiality, lived space and theoretical considerations on landscape. Some figures in both disciplines have become standard reading in any serious work in cultural geography or environmental philosophy.
