The concept of Teleology was propounded by

  • A.Alexander Von Humboldt
  • B.Carl Ritter
  • C.Oscar Peschel
  • D.Vidal de la Blasche

Answer: B

Teleology in geography was propounded by Carl Ritter. He viewed the earth as a planned home for mankind, designed by a divine creator, so that the arrangement of lands and seas had a purpose, and he studied how people and places relate within this purposeful whole.

Humboldt wrote Kosmos and stressed the unity of nature, though not the teleological view. Peschel was a German geographer of geomorphology and comparative studies. Vidal de la Blache is known for possibilism and the study of 'pays', and not for teleology.
