Harvey and a human oriented human geography

Another apporach to Geographical thinking that has drawn my interest is that of David Harvey.
He defines geography as "the discipline that records, analyzes and stores information about the spatial distribution, and the organization of these conditions that provide the material basis for the reproduction of social life". Moreover it promotes conscious awareness of how such conditions are subject to transformations through human action. Because of this ability to know and understand the world of man, he states that the social configurations have always influenced and controled the geographical knowledge. This means that the formal and more scientific practice of geography has been led by power, even though every human being has a loose or informal concept of the territory were they live. Thus, academic or universal geography is constrained by the interests of the power.
This conception of radical geography was first states by anarchists Kropotkin and Reclus, but they failed to build a consistent social theorical skeleton, and so the approaches within radical geography have been in conflict. At the contrary, or rather, at the same time, the Marxist social theory has ignored the spatial difference of the process of capitalist accumulation. In this context, Harvey suggests that the Geography should be a mix of these historical-materialist and radical geographical approaches. Geography must be mundane, world must be described as it is and the uneven geographical development must be critizised.
After this maybe we can suggest interesting alternatives.
