The article has been split into two main parts; the first concerns
illustrating the nature of the relation between method and text and which
one is prior to another. We discriminated three main opinions in the
history of philosophy, which are:
•
The first opinion is adopted by those who prioritize System to
method.
• While the second opinion believers tend to prioritize method to
System.
• The third opinion favors merging and unifying method and
system.
We worked on analyzing and discussing these opinions, and tried
exposing their disadvantages, and expressed our opinions in this
particular.
The second part of the article is concerned with analyzing how to
read a philosophy text, in which we discriminated two types of readings:
• A closed interpretational reading.
• And a hermeneutical open reading.
It is important for any science –including Human Geography- to
follow the scientific development and to keep up with other sciences, to
develop the elements of scientific research system, the most prominent
ones of which are: Approach, and Method.
