GEOGRAFIA – HĽADANIE TMELU. K otázke autonómie a jednoty geografie, jej externej pozície a inštitucionálneho začlenenia so špecifickým zreteľom na slovenskú situáciu
Journal Title: FOLIA GEOGRAPHICA - Year 2006, Vol 44, Issue 1
Abstract
In the last time there is possible to observe intensification of discussions concerning the identity, autonomy and unity of geography, its internal division and external position within the context of other sciences. Particularly serious is the question whether there still exists anything to bond so thematically various interests and methodologically different approaches that appear in current geography. Presented contribution is just the first attempt from our side to grasp this particularly complicated problem. We presume it might, in a Slovak geographical community, initiate a discussion that is now, however, only restricted to the unofficial private debates. In the contribution we will successively discuss the following problems: variations and interferences of integration and disintegration tendencies in the development of geographical cognition and thinking, ontological confirmation of the autonomy of geography, epistemological confirmation of the autonomy of geography, problemlike confirmation of the autonomy of geography, and finally the institutional-pragmatic confirmation of the autonomy of geography.
