摘要： 中国地理学的发展当前正处于十字路口，面临诸多方向的选择。如外生地理学和内生地理学的分化，实用主义和科学主义的混行，系统地理学和区域地理学的脱节，经济地理学和人文地理学的互为归属。这些问题悬而不决使地理学的向心力逐渐弱化，地理学者不得不面对诸多学科发展方向上的困扰，以及对学科规范和学术认同上的困惑。笔者以为，此时“搁置争议”并不是办法。为了学科的长远发展，中国的地理学家和地理学会必须做出一些选择。坚持一元还是认同分化，这即是地理学的政治。

Abstract: Along with the rapid growth of China's economy, power, culture and other domains, the discipline of Chinese Geography is showing a great achievement. However, the Chinese geographers feel more and more perplexed, as they have to make intriguing choices, though they have no idea about the route to take. In essence, the Chinese geographers have been divided into two groups, "exogenous geographers" and "endogenous geographers". And the problem is further illustrated by their differences in terms of the axiology: pragmatism and scientism. In details, the exogenous geographers go and follow the leadership of western geographical theories and methodologies, whilst the endogenous geographers target only upon native projects, more than often without theories and methodology. Against this epistemological dualism, every Chinese geographer has to make a choice: to be or not to be. It also makes the Chinese geography a strange stone, like systemic geography developed without regional geography, economic geography is trying to lead human geography, etc. From this point, this paper articulates the feature and challenge of recent Chinese geography. The author interrogates the way to reconstruct Chinese geography: through active discussions about the future and directions of geography development, Chinese geographers may find and achieve an agreement to promote the sustainability of its geography. That is, the politics of Chinese geography.

Key words: exogenous geography, endogenous geography, systemic geography, regional geography, pragmatism, scientism, the politics of Chinese geography
