Geography synthesizes from all sciences including social and physical sciences around the idea of places in space, just as history does so around the idea of events in time. So said Immanuel Kant... in this sense Geography is interdisciplinary which in a sense is "undisciplined," although I would add it is not just interdisciplinary because Geography is a discipline of its own with a multitude of analytical and diagnostic frameworks for perceiving phenomena in space. So like History, Geography is a discipline in itself of which an essential part is to synthesize from other disciplines.
