Abstract: Marx's analysis of space presents profound futurity, which is reflected in his discussions on “flowing space”, “open space”, “empty space” and “space of technology”. The space in these four dimensions constructs our basic understanding of space today, and provides the following important theoretical enlightenment for us to examine the production of space for human beings in contemporary times. First, the spatial condition of human beings in the age of capital is bound to undergo a profound change, which requires us to construct a new spatial epistemology and spatial value theory. Second, although the contemporary production of space for human beings is pluralistic and heterogeneous in form, it is profoundly homogeneous in essence, which is prominently reflected in the dual discipline of capital and technology in the contemporary production of space. Third, space is not only a new site of determining social dynamics, but also a new place for alienation. Fourth, the philosophy of space today needs to highlight the problem of the placement of the human spiritual world, and to construct a system of meaning based on such mobility in the volatile and uncertain production of space.

摘要: 马克思的空间分析呈现出深刻的未来性,这种未来性体现在马克思关于“流动的空间”“开放的空间”“虚无的空间”和“技术的空间”的相关探讨,这四重空间亦建构了今天我们理解空间的基本向度,这四重空间为我们审视当代人类的空间生产提供了如下重要的理论启示:第一,资本时代人类的空间境遇必然发生深刻的变革,这种变革要求我们建构新的空间认识论和空间价值论;第二,当代人类空间生产虽然在形式上呈现多元性和异质性,但在本质上却具有深刻的同质性,这种同质性突出体现在当代空间生产中资本与技术的双重规训;第三,空间在当代不仅是新的确证社会动力的场所,同时,也是新的异化的场所;第四,空间哲学在今天需要突出解决人类精神世界的安放问题,在充满不确定性的变动不居的空间生产中,建构一种基于这种流动性的意义体系。
