The role played by the theoretical & quantitative revolution in geography is outlined, with particular emphasis on how geographic theory evolved & came to differ from other discipline-based theories. Differences between the initial descriptive spatial theories & the later normative mathematically based theories are emphasized. The making of geographic theory from economic principles is acknowledged & the way that spatial & nonspatial concepts are linked to provide a powerful, normative, well-formed theory is illustrated. Throughout, emphasis is placed on the reasoning & inferential processes used in theory construction, & essential spatial or geographic processes are acknowledged. The transition between descriptive & analytical models is shown in the context of urban settlement & form. Also detailed is the transition from descriptive to normative to process-based theories as geography matured. 9 Figures, 26 References. Adapted from the source document.
