Abstract

This article was written to evaluate the geographical reason that David Harvey tried to reveal in his works in terms of rhythmanalysis, which Henri Lefebvre proposed as a method of analysis. Harvey emphasizes the need to bring together quantitative methodology and philosophy of geography in the discipline of geography. He stated that a geographical understanding that combines theoretical and analytical thought is necessary in order to reveal the hidden or overt aims of capital and dominant powers. He worked to establish ways and arguments through which geographical understanding and knowledge could be acquired. In this context, it is thought that associating Lefebvre's rhythms that ensure the continuity of all elements related to nature and humans with Harvey's "geographical reason" perspective will make a significant contribution to the discipline. Document analysis method was used in the study. In this context, a literature review was conducted on the concepts of “geographical reason” and “rhythmanalysis”. As a result of the study, it was understood that the formation of the geographical reason that Harvey drew the conceptual framework for and the point of how the basic concepts of geography come together can be explained with the relational and dialectical perspective of rhythmanalysis.
