Discussion
Which geographical perspective emphasizes the objective study of observable facts and seeks to discover universal laws governing spatial patterns ?
Answer: B
The perspective is positivism.
Positivism holds that knowledge comes from the objective, empirical observation of facts and the testing of hypotheses, with the aim of discovering general laws. In geography it drove the quantitative revolution of the 1950s and 1960s and the search for laws of spatial organisation, as in location theory.
Humanism rejects this in favour of subjective meaning and experience. Structuralism looks for underlying structures that are not directly observable, and behaviouralism focuses on decision-making and perception.
