Abstract

This proposal introduces an integral, natural perspective from Orientation itself, offering the foundations to promote a debate about physical and geographical perspectives management and power. We take the human being as the subject, in this case, as the observer from the Earth. A theoretical framework was developed on the basis of axioms, which enable the discussion about the use of perspectives, their application to knowledge, education, epistemological repositioning and the definition of a global identity. This approach seeks to create a new line of discussion, to launch a proposal that is scientifically challenging to the hegemony of geographical thought and that provides new geographical rationality structures.
