Summary/Abstract: The book deals with the fundamental category of place. The author points out that contemporary discussions on the essence of place go beyond the human-oriented approach. Geographers take up the themes of place agency, self of place, and the dialogue between human and place. By developing this narrative and using the relational approach's assumptions, the author develops a conversational approach to place. The book proposes a theoretical framework and shows case studies in the author's interpretation of the dialogue with place. These considerations are preceded by a discussion of the basic scientific paradigms that make up the assumptions of the conversational narrative of the essence of place, and a presentation of selected views existing so far on the concept of place.
