possibilism (geography)









































possibilism in cultural geography is the theory that the environment sets certain constraints or limitations, but culture is otherwise determined by social conditions.









































in cultural ecology marshall sahlins used this concept in order to develop alternative approaches to the environmental determinism dominant at that time in ecological studies. theory by strabo in 64 bc that humans can make things happen by their own intelligence over time. strabo cautioned against the assumption that nature and actions of humans were determined by the physical environment they inhabited. he observed that humans were the active elements in a human-environmental partnership.
possibilism (geography)
impossibilism is the opposite of "possibilism" and "immediatism". possibilism and immediatism are based on a gradualist path to socialism and a desire on the part of socialists to help ameliorate the social ills "immediately" through practical programs implemented by existing institutions including labor unions and electoral politics, thereby de-emphasizing the ultimate objective of building a socialist economy. this position is justified by the fact that socialists who embraced possibilism sounded and acted little different from non-socialist reformers in practice.









































impossibilist movements are also associated with anti-leninism in their opposition to both vanguardism and democratic centralism.
