Abstract

ABSTRACT Geographers emphasizing an existential phenomenological perspectiv in their research have referred to their work as humanistic grography. Some humanist geographers argue that their approach offers an alternative to, or a presuppositionless basis, for, scientific geography. A review of the philosophies espoused by humanist geographers and an examination of their interpretations of these philosophies suggests that humanistic geography is best understood as a form of criticism.
