Abstract

The epistemic conjuncture, which supports the geographical science, has evidenced important debates about landscape and geosystem in several schools of geographic thought (Russian, European, American and Latin American). The epistemological reflection, method and criteria for mapping, are the main elements of this brief reflection about landscape and geosystem. The purpose of this paper is to debate the concept of the landscape category, understanding this category as a qualified tool for the analysis of geographical space, since, the epistemological foundation about the landscape, will be the structure of the scientific method. The method will be the course of reflection, analysis, and discourse about the problem (or object) whose deficiency is not cartographic but of the method itself, which spans the epistemological question. Therefore, during the development of the concept of landscape and the rise of the geosystemic approach, they became both the perfect connection of geographic studies currently, which suggest a breakthrough or a paradigmatic break in contemporary geographic thought.
