Les géographes au risque de la complexité
Abstract
The status of reality is embedded in the core of the philosophy of science. Geographers are particularly concerned by the question although their interest in it has been limited. Their adoption of a positivist point of view explains, if it does not excuse, this lack of concern. But as geographers embrace the paradigm of complexity, they are faced with a difficulty. It is not possible to be a true scientist and thus a true geographer without some fundamental reflection on the idea that scientists have of reality.
