Abstract

The current article accomplishes a capitulation of the General Geography(1650) of Varenius (1621/1622-1650), seeking in it elements that characterizes the occidental thought and science in the beginning of modernity. The filiation to the Copernican heliocentrism, the adoption of Cartesianism principles, the updating of the world image based on the information called Maritime Discoveries and total exemption of Geography towards the religious reckless constitute some of the modern elements in the text of the German Geographer.
