David Harvey’s work is a significant example of evolution and differences in contemporary human geography. It is characterised especially by three features related to one another: a constant change in scientific and research interests, a tendency to bridge the divisions between geographical specialities and scientific disciplines and the inclination towards deep theoretical and methodological reflection. A temporal and problem analysis allows distinguishing two phases of his research interests. In the first, neopositivist one, Harvey discusses methodological aspects of geography, being part of the process of changes in the research pattern of the maternal discipline; in the second, as a confirmed Marxist and radical geographer, he critically analyses contemporary urbanisation and the ideas of postmodernism and neoliberalism. Along with the evolution of scientific and research interests, Harvey’s approach to the examined issues changes – from an inquisitive researcher, concerned with the state of a native scientific discipline, he becomes a critical observer and a reformer of the surrounding reality.}, type={Artykuły / Articles}, title={Ewolucja zainteresowań naukowo-badawczych Davida Harveya}, URL={http://journals.pan.pl/Content/107791/PDF/Studia%20KPZK%20183_Maik.pdf}, keywords={evolution of scientific and research interests, philosophical-methodological basis of geography, radical geography, contemporary urbanism, postmodernism, neoliberalism}, }
