Abstract

The text leads us to understand the historical process by which geography was created and modified from a philosophical perspective, as well as its paradigms until today. With a clear and objective language, the author presents us with an overview of the low modernity and the enlightenment-romantic holism of the 18th-19th centuries. Advances in the discussion with the presentation of new trends in industrial modernity, with fragmentary geography and, finally, with the advances of ultramodernity and the current pluralist trend.
