<br/><br/> By criticizing those who “lay waste his dwelling land, making it uninhabitable” whereas the human being who is “truly civilized acts completely differently”, Élisée Reclus (1830-1905), upholder of a “mesology” linked to a “social geography”, traces out his geographical vision of dwelling as lying between ethics, aesthetics and politics : coexistence and diversity of living beings (humans, plants and animals), overriding distinction between nomadism and sedentary, human beings viewed as “geological agents” but now having to “work with method to develop the earth”.
