Reflecting on the scientific method, this book explores the philosophical foundations established by Aristotle and further developed by medieval and modern thinkers like Thomas Aquinas and Francis Bacon. It emphasizes the importance of analytical logic and productive science, which enables scientists to intervene in their studies effectively. The text argues for a rational basis in philosophy to enhance the scientific method, particularly in Geography, advocating for an inductive approach that draws from empirical investigations of natural phenomena to foster a new understanding of diverse landscapes.
