Abstract
ABSTRACTThis commentary responds to the several points made by Kanishka Goonewardena and Neil Gray in their extended reviews of our book David Harvey: A Critical Introduction to His Thought. We address three general points, then a set of more specific objections and concerns expressed by the two authors. Overarching themes are the relationship between Marxist thinking and the world it seeks to understand; the relationship between acts of analysis and evaluation; and the forms of geographical knowledge that can both help and hinder a critique of capitalism as an ‘imperial’ mode of living. We’re grateful to Goonewardena and Gray for their careful evaluations of our book and the work of the remarkable man the book focuses on.KEYWORDS: CapitalismDavid Harveygeographical imaginationcritique
期刊介绍:
The Scottish Geographical Journal is the learned publication of the Royal Scottish Geographical Society and is a continuation of the Scottish Geographical Magazine, first published in 1885. The Journal was relaunched in its present format in 1999. The Journal is international in outlook and publishes scholarly articles of original research from any branch of geography and on any part of the world, while at the same time maintaining a distinctive interest in and concern with issues relating to Scotland. “The Scottish Geographical Journal mixes physical and human geography in a way that no other international journal does. It deploys a long heritage of geography in Scotland to address the most pressing issues of today."
