humanityAbstract
The humanistic approach in geography has frequently been criticised for being eclectic, vague and unsure of its own footing. This is borne out in the disparate writings of such noted votaries as Yi-Fu-Tuan and Anne Buttimer. Indeed this vagueness seems to be the stock in trade of much of the humanistic endeavour as heretofore conceived.
