Analysis Of Marx’s Social Space Thought

Marx’s thought of "social space" has been put forward and received widespread attention in the academic circle,which is mainly inspired by the research of Marxist scholars such as Lefebvre,David Harvey and Castel.In the process of the "spatial turn" of the humanities and social sciences,they combine a series of spatial problems brought about by the development of modern capitalism and try to make Marxist explanations and answers.According to their theory,although Marx did not make the problem of space a special topic,there has always been an implicit vision of space in Marx’s philosophy of ontology,in Marx’s interpretation of social life and history,and in Marx’s critical analysis of modern society.As space problems become more and more prominent in today’s world and China’s social development,solving space problems has become more and more urgent.It is not only the necessity of academic research,but also the objective requirement of real life to explore and explain Marx’s thought of "social space" in depth.After research,we find that in Marx’s philosophy,the so-called "social space" actually refers to the living field or living world created by people through their own "perceptual activities"(practice or production labor).The discussion of this question is the theme of Marx’s ontological philosophy.Marx’s theory of social structure is actually Marx’s revelation of the structure of social space: material production and material life constitute the most basic space part of the living world,on which there are corresponding political space and spiritual space.Marx’s theory of three social forms actually contains Marx’s investigation and analysis of the historical changes of social space: the isolated and closed social space of pre-capitalism;The open and mobile social space of the capitalist era;The social space of the free personality of the future society.If we understand Marx’s thought of social space in this way,we can see that Marx’s thought of social space has such basic characteristics as practicality,criticality,class nature and ideality.Today,it is of great theoretical value and practical significance to deeply explore and study Marx’s social space thought.In terms of theoretical value,it can deepen our understanding and cognition of Marxist philosophy,enrich and develop Marxist theory.In terms of practical significance,it can help us to recognize and understand the globalization expansion trend of capital and correctly deal with the injustice of space and the imbalance of space development.
