Answer:
Regardless of changing official definitions, many cartographers continue to think of cartography in terms of art and science. This paper critiques the use of the art/science dualism as a means of understanding cartography, particularly by those interested in reexamining the role of aesthetics, design, and visual expression in cartography. Two basic approaches to 'art' and 'science' in the context of cartography and information graphics are described along with their limitations. It is argued that the manner in which the art/science dualism has been used in cartography does not stand up under close scrutiny and that attempts to strictly differentiate art and science have ended in confusion while simultaneously demeaning both art and science. It is suggested that various and seemingly divergent trends including postmodern deconstruction, hypermedia, cognitive psychology, semiotics, geographical information systems, and visualization all point to a process oriented means of understanding cartography. Within this process, 'art' and 'science' serve a functionally similar role, informing the different ways
The science of cartography is same in all periods:
The three periods of development of cartography is given below:
1) From 1900's to 1960's, the cartography was accepted as distinct science.
2). From mid-1960's to 1980's refers as golden age of cartography because of development of theoretical cartography and theoretical fundamentals of cartography.
3). From mid-1980's, the information technology taken cartography to another level. Now, it is based on data capture, data manipulation, visual display and image processing.
Though the stages of the development are distinct, the science (fundamentals) involved in cartography remains same.
