The article discusses how Alexander von Humboldt developed the concepts of nature, space, and morphology in his works and impacted the shaping of modern physical geography. Influenced by Kant's ideas in Critique of judgment and also by the writings of Goethe and Schelling, Humboldt devised a new interpretation and representation of nature on Earth's surface, wherein the concept of space is essential to explaining natural phenomena. Modern physical geography is grounded in a complex interweaving of aesthetic and instrumental influences fashioned by Humboldt, with the principle of connection playing an important role in the artistic and scientific development of the notion of a geographic landscape.
本文探讨了亚历山大·冯·洪堡如何在其著作中发展自然、空间和形态学的概念，以及这些概念如何影响现代自然地理学的形成。受康德《判断力批判》中的思想以及歌德和谢林著作的影响，洪堡设计了一种对地球表面自然的新解释和呈现方式，其中空间概念对于解释自然现象至关重要。现代自然地理学建立在洪堡所塑造的美学与工具性影响的复杂交织之上，关联性原则在地理景观概念的艺术和科学发展中发挥了重要作用。
