20世纪以来中国地理学的研究始终着眼于地球表层,无论是地理环境或是地球表层的人地关系都曾被看做地理学的研究对象。可是随着分支学科的不断产生和发展,使作为“科学之母”的地理学的学术地位不断受到二级、三级,甚至四级学科的分化而模糊,同时不同学者对于地理学研究对象定义的不同也使得地理学的发展呈现出多元化的趋势,也使地理学的科学性受到质疑。本文遵循“历史”与“逻辑”统一的方法论原则对20世纪以来中国地理学研究对象这一问题进行分析,阐述了中国地理学研究对象从模糊不清到将其确定为地球表层陆地空间系统的嬗变过程。
Since the 20th century, Chinese geographical objects research was focus on epigeosphere, whether geographical environment or man - land relationship are both regarded as the geographical objects in the past. Along with the branches of science produced and progressed, however, geography academic status was challenged by level 2 or level 3, even level 4 branches, it turns to disorder. Different geographers hold different ideas about geographical objects study make the discipline become diversity and in doubt. This paper combine "history" and "logic" to describe Chinese geographical objects study since 20th century, illustrate the Chinese geographical objects research from blurring to confirm the land and space system in epigeosphere.
