PLACE AND PLACENESS

Abstract

Despite the efforts of different approaches to remove the place from its mere sense of formal geometric location, this idea continues to appear in geographic conceptions of place. In other words, the strength of theoretical recognition is often lost in conducting investigations of specific places and geographical situations, which are structured on the basis of the modern conception of subject (self-conscious) and object. The paper resumes the debate of the subject in modern philosophy from the ontological differentiation and the Kerhe in the Heideggerian perspective, in order to prompt the radicality of a topology as a geography of emergencies, starting from place as a way of being, that is, placeness.

Keywords:
Subject; Res Extensa and Res Cogitans; Ways of Being; Topology
