Key Messages In spite of the major successes of logical positivism in experimental science, the philosophy of positivism alone restricts physical geographers’ understanding of the real world. Roy Bhaskar's version of critical realism has the potential to expand physical geographers’ understanding of the real world. Critical realism can resolve the nature/culture binary and bring ethical concerns over systemic injustices into the purview of physical geography
