Until the nineteenth century,due to various reasons,the space concept was ignored by the theoretical realm.Enter 19 th century,with the shift in the form of capitalist accumulation,the relationship between capital and the space had been increasingly close.With the rise of globalization,People had a very strong space experience in production and life.In this context,there was a turn of space appeared in the western political philosophy.The American scholar David Harvey(David Harvey)who had Marxist belief firmly,learned and judged scholar ethos of new theory of Marxist.Then he gradually constructed the space of political philosophy.Uneven geographical development theory is the most important part of Harvey 's political philosophy.It is built on the capitalism production space theory,in which involves in "scale production of space" and "production geographical differences".He believes that they are the nature of uneven geographical development theory.And space of capitalist production is accumulate capital in the global range of activities through the "time—space compression" and "time—space repair".This is the root cause lead to the uneven geographical phenomenon becomes worse.The formation of uneven geographical development theory thanks to Harvey positivism geography of training,then he extended out of the "three kinds of space".Later he extended humanistic geography to "history—geographical materialism theory".He used Marxism historical materialism and dialectical materialism methodology,systematic analysis and interpretation the uneven development which both overlap each other and relatively independent.This paper puts forward theoretical pursuit of a "unified field theory",opened up to channels of uneven geographical development theory becomes general theory.Through overall grasp and decomposition research of uneven geographical development theory with "unified field theory",it is not difficult to find that "unified field theory" contains two basic logic,namely capital logic and the logic of power.Among them,the capital logic is the foundation,it is a reason of geographic expansion of capitalism.Because of the capital accumulation had the inherent contradiction and crisis,it did not fundamental solution in the process of geographic expansion.So the phenomenon of uneven geographical development is further made.In the era of globalization space production,it is performed in the uneven geographical development of urban space and globalization.With research,we further found that,the uneven geographical development and analysis of the relationship between development of capitalism is not based on one—way historical orbit,but understand the two as exist,that both alternately and gave rise to each other,and influence each other.With the catalysis of capital logic,power logic of the uneven geographical development theory has been mining and extension.It provides an important theoretical perspective and research gripper of Harvey's theory of new liberalism and new imperialism theory,political liberation theory.Transplantation diffusion and evolution of new liberalism contributed to the global uneven geographical development.The political and economic globalization and the development of the new liberalism has given rise to uneven geographical development in the process of capital accumulation theory.people have realized the uneven geographical is the foundational position in contemporary philosophy of practice,and have realized weaving of the theory in sociology,economics and other disciplines.The alternative action of uneven geographical development with the "unified field theory" in the capital logic and the logic of power is explain the essence of the new imperialism.New imperialism is the capitalist globalization power capital logic and the logic of territorial power in the process of the product of the combination.With inner will be uneven geographical development.Harvey's theory purport,of course,not only stay in the level of criticism and interpretation,but reconstructing the utopia ideal and its elements into the geography mark liberate political science theory is the most fundamental theoretical pursuit.Harvey think,thorough social liberation should have put a variety of power difference of organized,in this regard,uneven geographical development theory undoubtedly has important theoretical value.In terms of theoretical orientation,Harvey's uneven geographical development theory find political liberation theory of spatial dimension,create uneven development theory become the first space research.It is a kind of temperament yuan theory of Marxist theory of geography.In terms of theoretical significance,Harvey's uneven geographical development theory develops Marxist theory,provides a new theoretical perspective and improves the path,but also develop a new theory of studying the process of capitalist production.Analysis and solution the complex space production activities in contemporary China,it forms conforms to the space production theory with Chinese characteristics.It is an important foothold in theoretical research.The key lies in how to through a variety of theoretical perspectives to explain Chinese space and mining production representation and essence,in this aspect,Harvey's uneven geographical development theory provides the reference and revelation for us.At the same time,understanding and grasping the Chinese capital logic in the space that hidden effects in the process of production.With mining and interpretation of contemporary China's uneven phenomenon of space in the process of production,the socialist space production theory has great theoretical value.Capitalism formats the essence and dynamic mechanism of urban renewal,so we ought to learn from experience,give full play to the superiority of socialist system,from two aspects of theory and practice trying to find space in the socialist justice in the process of the urban space production applicable field.In the same time,we can try to explore China's road of the justice of the urban space production,in the hope of creative building is different from western countries simply to capital and market as the center of the space development pattern.
