Some Methodological Issues of Scientific Geosophy | Chapter 6 | Novel Perspectives of Geography, Environment and Earth Sciences Vol. 8

 Our occasion is characterized by a legal combination of opposite processes in the development of wisdom - differentiation, meant in the emergence of new analytical, sectoral trainings, and integration, that consists in the design of artificial, complex disciplines mainly at the boundaries of science. One of the most immature synthetic geographic punishments is geosophy, which was settled about a hundred years ago at the line of geography and philosophy. In fact, fundamentals of geosophy were present in the works generated by ancient Greek and Roman scholars and theorists, but in the new time the first the one used the term “geosophy”, was German geographer Ewald Banse. But welcome geosophy occupied a place between the learning and art; the up-to-date, hardly experimental, geosophy was created by American scholar John Kirtland Wright. So, for as well hundred years, this experimental discipline has passed a troublesome way of happening, due to two together internal, expressed in the type of the discipline itself, and outside (ideological, geopolitical, etc.) factors.The object of geosophy is human scope, that is, scope perceived and understood by man.Nowadays, post-non-classical mechanics approaches are becoming more widely secondhand in geosophy - besides geosophical, it is noospheric (created by Pierre Teillard de Chardin and Volodymyr Vernadskyi), synergistic (settled by Isabelle Stengers and Ilya Prigogine), eco-evolutionary (famous also as the beginning of sustainable development begun by Dennis Meadows) and passionate (found by Lev Gumilyov). They are based on a fundamentally new connection between the subject and the object, qualitatively various from what has traditionally happened recognized as classical and non-simple geography. One feature of post-non-classic approaches is subject-object convergence.In particular, the content of the geosophical approach is to acknowledge geographical facial characteristics as totals that represent the joined unity of the all natural and human elements. Possibilities of its request exist in almost all portions of geography. One of the main one in all geology is the category of landscape. The doubt of its understanding attests to the fundamental importance concerning this concept, its special role in the information of the earth's surface as a multidimensional sensibility. In particular, the geosophical point of view on countryside consists in the beginning of the landscape and ethnicity interplay.From the diversity of countryside understandings, two basic concepts prominent. The content of one of bureaucracy, dating back to the 19th centennial, is to see the countryside as a general exact likeness the terrain, which was elucidated as totality. From different positions, designed in the early twentieth centennial, the landscape is understood as a actual existing unaffected material object, characterized by genetic uniformity, the presence of upright and horizontal form and clearly defined boundaries. The place of the aforementioned countryside concepts and the search for potential of combining bureaucracy is one of the main theoretical issues of modern geology, in particular, geosophy.It is emphasized that the categories of “spirit”, “knowledge”, “information field’ forming a triad, merge spiritual and material, ideal and real, emotional and objective components of countryside in a whole unity.
