ResumoThis article discusses the genesis of modern physical geography since the formation of the concepts of nature, space and morphology in the writings of Alexander von Humboldt. Influenced by the reflections of Kant in the ”Critique of Judgment”, the writings of Goethe and Schelling, Humboldt has developed a new interpretation and representation of nature in the earth’s surface that turned the concept of space out to be crucial to the explanation of the phenomena of nature. A complex starting point of influences as such aesthetics or self developed instrumentals has structured modern Physical Geography through a principle of connection between artistic and scientific invention in the geographic concept of landscape.
