Quantum Mechanics, Philosophy of Social Sciences and Geography

Summary/Abstract: Developments in physics have affected the epistemology of natural sciences. Social sciences, and more particularly geography, have long been trying to take position themselves by natural sciences, which dominate the scientific field for a long time. The institutionalization of social science and geography goes back to the 18th century. The philosophy of natural sciences, dominated by social sciences, and geography, in its way of dealing with issues, scientific claims and approaches, has been influential. The changes that took place in physics in the early 20th century resulted in the coming of quantum mechanics and the criticism of modern science and its loss of legitimacy. The effects of quantum mechanics and the social, economic and political events of the period have led to scientific paradigm shifts in the field. In the emerging new situation, there have been changes in the philosophy of social sciences and geography.
