The Position of Epistemology in the Knowledge of Geography

The science of geography is one of the most influential sciences in human life, which has had many changes in the past and present in terms of philosophical foundations. This development shows that the experts and thinkers of this field did not agree on the subject, nature, and definition of this science; but despite these divisions in the science of geography, today this science has found many capabilities and has acquired new specialized trends with the technical tools it has. The philosophy of the field of geography, as the constitution or constitution of the scientific system of geography, has a key and central role in the scientific life of this field. Although the transformation in human life and its new needs initially led to a specialization in the sciences, but with the expansion of scientific branches, attention to the totality of human knowledge also became a common feeling among thinkers to explain with a new attitude in the first step. The philosophy of the science of geography should be discussed and in line with that, the state of geographical knowledge should be examined.
