This entry does not pretend exhaustivity in summarizing the bourgeoning field of current international scholarship in the history of geography. It does not even pretend to be a compendium of any possible narrative to be defined a "history of geography". Rather, it will focus on some current methods and research tools in the broadly defined area of the philosophy and history of geography. This way, it will provide the reader with the most relevant updates to understand why this "subdiscipline", which is still considered as a relatively peripheral one by several geographers, is showing special vibrancy in the last years. This renewed interest in geography's histories is based on the increasing extension of the places, periods, authors and definitions which are currently investigated by scholars, who generally use the theoretical and methodological tools of the spatial turn and of contextual readings in the history of science that successfully challenged internalism, essentialism and positivism in reading the geographical traditions. An important part of current scholarship is now committed to radicalize, internationalize and decolonize the histories of geography, by increasingly addressing the richness, complexity and diversity of a plurality of "geographical traditions" rather than one "geographical tradition".
