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.
