Wisdom is strong as a millenary rock and ardent like a wildfire. When a man possesses
it, he becomes immune to all banalities and he acquires firmness against the unexpected changes of human destiny.

The seeking of wisdom or Truths (as in the physical and natural laws) that never change.

    seeking wisdom by integrating the different "Geographical" philosophies. Connecting the dots...correlations or a different perspective on some ground in common. That was my take on "Geophilosophy" however, there is their tendency to ground some of the scientific with the mystical loosing the idea of pragmatic scientific processes.
    I've studied so much new, old and weird stuff that I seem to be able to discern what is valuable and productive thought.

    Being a geologist with a minor in philosophy........I don't get it.

    Sometimes, I think that everything meaningful has been said already in one fashion or another and the constant search to say anything new just drums up new jargon that attempts to impress with its own self deluding cleverness.

    I tend to look askance at any word prefaced with the letters g-e-o. Especially geopolitics. There even was a car some years ago called a GEO. It was a piece of er, feces.

    I bought a polished pet rock with paper eyes pasted on during the 70s when that fad was faddish.
    It lost its eyes during the 80s shortly before it got lost.
    Guess it couldn't see where it was going.

    Indulge in a quantum event and you very well might get your truth and wisdom...however, not sure about your pet rock though...

    It is a right to know the mysteries of some creator? I therefore DEMAND instant wisdom and truths. And my pet rock.

    Philosophy of geography is that subfield of philosophy which deals with epistemological, metaphysical, and axiological issues in geography, with geographic methodology in general, and with more broadly related issues such as the perception and representation of space and place.

    the relationship of philosophy and the earth

    Depends on the philosophy and if the individual trying to describe the relationship is objective or subjective.
