Object of geographical inquiry. The development of science and geographical thought. Descriptive regional geography (classification of geographic information, geographical determinism). Spatial science (quantitative revolution, nomothetic versus idiographic geography, statistical correlation versus causal relation). Post-positivist approaches (critique of positivism, multiparadigmatism and plurality of approaches, the role of subject- critical theory, positive, critical and normative role of geography, agency versus structure). Position of geography among sciences and internal classification of geography. Epistemology: induction and deduction, abstraction and generalization. Ontology: geographical organization of reality. Selected geographical concepts (place and space, absolute and relative distance and space, time-space diffusion, distanciation and compression, regionalisation and territorial typology, globalisation and global events, processes and problems, theories of spatial divisions of labor).
