On the spatiality of geographic knowledge

ABSTRACT The present paper aims to explore how the principle of “spatiality” provides internal consistency and intrinsic unity to the science of geography. The main idea is that geography as a science has an intrinsic unity based on the principle of “spatiality,” which embraces many manifestations in some of the main dimensions of this science, and almost all various perceptions from this science and from various aspects of it refer to the principle of “spatiality.” Accordingly, the purpose of this paper is to discuss the nature of geographic knowledge and attempts to read this science based on the principle of linguistic unity and conceptual cohesion in some of its most important aspects (Geo, language, perspective, concepts. ideas, concerns, teaching and learning, application and purposes). This is to improve the integrity of understanding and introducing Geography among other sciences.
