Orphan date April 2010 Essay like date November 2009 Universalism, when used in Human Geography , signals the position that ideas of development produced in Western social sciences hold for all times and places, ref Barnes, T. 2000 Universalism, in R. Johnston, D. Gregory, G. Pratt and M. Wats eds , The Dictionary of Human Geography . Oxford Blackwell, 869 70. ref . Universalist thinking began in the Age of Enlightenment when philosophers decided on truths that could explain occurrences rationally and accurately. Developmentgeography , human geography and other disciplines seek to find and critique universal truths . Critics suggest that Universalism has created a world knowledge hierarchy placing Western Europe, North America and the rest of the developed world at the top, as the center of knowledge, and placing the rest of the globe below, as ignorant and needing to be educated. This hierarchy reiterates the Core periphery notion, examining it in terms of knowledge differentials across space. Universalism s Beginning As intellectuals began to question traditional understandings of the world and think on a global scale, new truths were created to help explain the world. The issues with said truths was that the knowledge that they were based upon was constructed as placeless, free of cultural specificity, abstract, and apolitical ref Lawson, V.L., Making DevelopmentGeography . London Hodder Arnold ref . These truths began to manifest themselves in development policies, political apparatuses, and other institutions.
