ABSTRACT
A mountain is ‘high’ according to the human scale, and in relation to human designs. Beyond some reference to a project or a lived experience, these notions of height [etc.] have no meaning. Anthropocentrism, you say! But one must insist upon it; outside an actual or an imagined human presence there can be no geography, not even a physical one, but only a useless science. Anthropocentrism is not a defect, but an inescapable condition.
