在这篇文章中，我将根据最近在哲学和科学社会学中的争论来讨论地理和社会科学进步的意义。在关注巴恩斯等作者最近的作品中提出的各种建构主义挑战之前，我回顾了过去在地理学中使用来自不同科学哲学的进步概念的方式。我从现实主义-建构主义的角度批评这些方法，并主张与社会认识论进行更深入的接触。
In this article I discuss the meaning of progress in geography and the social sciences in general in the light of recent debates in the philosophy and sociology of science. I review the way in which notions of progress derived from different philosophies of science have been used in geography in the past, before focusing on the kinds of constructivist challenges posed in recent work by authors such as Barnes. I criticize these approaches from a realist-constructivist perspective and argue for a deeper engagement with social epistemology.
