History of Science and Natural History

The ability to produce art is part of what makes humans unique. Modern science, however, tried to dissociate art from thinking and, therefore, the science of art. Geography, as a modern science, has respected this separation, although at times it has used artistic descriptions as an illustration to their work, especially literary work. In the contemporary epistemological restructuring, however, to bring Geography to its encounter with Art is both necessary and essential to their development. This occurs not only by the incorporation of art as a document, but rather as a symbol and a mark of cultural space-time. This article starts from the seminal contribution of Wright on the subject of Geosophy, seeking an understanding of art as a geographical knowledge in the context of Humanism in Geography.
