Book Description
For the first time in English, a key work of critical geography Originally published in 1978 in Portuguese, For a New Geography is a milestone in the history of critical geography, and it marked the emergence of its author, Milton Santos (1926–2001), as a major interpreter of geographical thought, a prominent Afro-Brazilian public intellectual, and one of the foremost global theorists of space. Published in the midst of a crisis in geographical thought, For a New Geography functioned as a bridge between geography’s past and its future. In advancing his vision of a geography of action and liberation, Santos begins by turning to the roots of modern geography and its colonial legacies. Moving from a critique of the shortcomings of geography from the field’s foundations as a modern science to the outline of a new field of critical geography, he sets forth both an ontology of space and a methodology for geography. In so doing, he introduces novel theoretical categories to the analysis of space. It is, in short, both a critique of the Northern, Anglo-centric discipline from within and a systematic critique of its flaws and assumptions from outside. Critical geography has developed in the past four decades into a heterogenous and creative field of enquiry. Though accruing a set of theoretical touchstones in the process, it has become detached from a longer and broader history of geographical thought. For a New Geography reconciles these divergent histories. Arriving in English at a time of renewed interest in alternative geographical traditions and the history of radical geography, it takes its place in the canonical works of critical geography.

Sobre la naturaleza de las cosas
Author: Lucrecio
Publisher: Editorial Minimal
ISBN: 8416196125
Category : Philosophy
Languages : es
Pages : 367
Book Description
“Sobre la naturaleza de las cosas” escrito por Lucrecio hacia el siglo I a.C., es una compilación de la obra y pensamiento de los primeros materialistas: Leucipo, Demócrito y Epicuro. Estos pensadores contribuyeron a la historia del conocimiento con un notable aporte: pensaron que el mundo podía estar compuesto de vacío y de unos elementos ínfimos e invisibles llamados átomos, los cuales se encontraban en perpetuo movimiento. Dividido en seis libros, es el único ejemplo de épica científica que ha llegado hasta nuestros días.
