Abstract :
The purpose of this article is to review the development of geography knowledge. For this purpose, the analytical-historical method has been used. The sample of the contents of this research included the works, events, efforts and actions carried out throughout the history of the science of geography from the beginning until now. For this purpose, first, the title and some famous definitions of this science have been proposed, and then, the historical course of the development and evolution of this science has been discussed. Basically, it is better to study any phenomenon or subject from different angles. Because if we only look at that phenomenon from one side, it is natural that we cannot see its opposite side. Therefore, no one can consider a landscape at once with all its dimensions and parts. Another issue is related to the purpose of the viewer, that we expect different impressions and views, or if we look at them according to the role and function of the phenomena, the impressions and attitudes will be different.
