Abstract

Jeff Fox has written a stimulating commentary with ideas worthy of expansion. I like his skepticism of mapping and GIS; we get far too little of it these days. But I remain even less sanguine than he about the prospect for spatial technologies. Although I am alert to the seemingly positive exercises in selfdetermination Fox recounts, all such projects compel people to assimilate to a prevailing Cartesian-Newtonian (i.e., "Western") epistemology.
