- 爱德华·W Soja（1996，273）地理学和哲学之间的显著趋同在过去二十年中变得越来越明显。斯特拉波在《地理学》一书中著名的开篇主张似乎在两千年后终于成为现实：“我现在打算研究的地理科学，我认为，与任何其他科学一样，也是哲学家的关注点”（《斯特拉波》，第1卷，第3页）。什么是新（而不是斯特拉波）是越来越多的人相信哲学也是地理学家的关注点，或者更确切地说，哲学和地理学现在相互需要--并从这种相互需要中获益。自从20多年前对地方的共同关注开始出现以来，Edward Relph的《Place and Placelessness》（1976）和段义夫的《Space and Place》（1976）。由于他们强调地方的经验特征--它的“主观”或“生活”方面--这些作品是现象学的天然盟友，现象学是一种试图直接描述第一人称经验的哲学形式。地理学和现象学都开始关注人类所经历的地方，而空间是抽象的，
—Edward W. Soja (1996, 273) remarkable convergence between geography and philosophy has become increasingly manifest in the past two decades. It is as if Strabo’s celebrated opening claim in his Geographia had finally become true two millennia later:“The science of Geography, which I now propose to investigate, is, I think, quite as much as any other science, a concern of the philosopher”(Strabo I, 3). What is new (and not in Strabo) is the growing conviction that philosophy is the concern of the geographer as well, or more exactly that philosophy and geography now need each other—and profit from this mutual need.Collaboration between the two fields has been evident ever since concerted attention to place began to emerge just over twenty years ago in, eg, Edward Relph’s Place and Placelessness (1976) and Yi-Fu Tuan’s Space and Place (1976). Because of their emphasis on the experiential features of place—its “subjective” or “lived” aspects—such works were natural allies of phenomenology, a form of philosophy that attempts to give a direct description of first-person experience. Both geography and phenomenology have come to focus on place as experienced by human beings, in contrast to space, whose abstractness
