The philosophy of progress and South African geography

Geographical renaissance at the dawn of the Millennium

Auteur :
RAMUTSINDELA, M.F.

Description :
The question of how much progress has been made in any sphere of life calls for the interrogation of both the meanings and measurement of progress. This applies to discussions on progress made by scientific disciplines. For a discipline such as geography, which stands at the confluence of philosophies of science, evaluating progress is a complex undertaking. This is explored in the paper. - (AJC)
