Christian Grataloup, The Explorer and the Missionary
The present age requires that we constantly revise our perceptions of the physical and social world. One of the consequences of this fact is that the description of the world, the primordial mission of the discipline of geography, is an increasing focus of attention which corresponds to a keen demand for maps which reflect the reality of a world influx. At the same time, geography is itself characterized by scientific debates over the conceptual modalities of accurately delimiting social space. Such debates, over what for some is an effort to obtain greater precision, and for others amounts to reductionism, have given geography a new prominence within the social sciences.
