The article comments on the article "The postmodernism challenge: reconstructing human geography" by Michael Dear that was published in the 1988 issue of journal "Transactions of the Institute of British Geographers." The author expresses that the work allows the inclusion of social theory into the writings of geographers that gives more open claims to knowledge. It states that the paper is instrumental in promoting language awareness in human sciences within geography among geographers. It is argued that human geographic research is an implicit or explicit context of the article.
