For a long time, people tend to stay in space awareness surface with little attention to the real meaning or value space exists, space is often considered dead, stagnant, stationary container. Especially with the development of modern capitalism, the capitalists of the time and efficiency of the chase, so that the importance of space continue to be ignored.Late 19 th and early 20 th century, the capitalist countries widespread overproduction crisis and inflation, prompting the capitalist countries had to find a new way of capital expansion, so a global "spatial planning" put on capitalism schedule. Meanwhile, in capitalist countries, especially in urban space and the space inside the scramble for resources has intensified. Whether in the field of science or technology in the areas of social life, in the space where the men are dramatic changes in space injustice frequent in this context the importance of the space was only re-understanding.Marx and Engels’ materialist conception of history mentioned in his writings, the surface is a time axis. In fact, in many of the writings of Marx and Engels in all dimensions of space there analysis, such as "Das Kapital", "the British working class status", have been criticism from different angles injustices that exist in space. Marx’s critique of the various space is not limited to theoretical level, but at the same time appealed to the criticism of the proletariat to unite to overthrow the capitalist hegemony of this space. 20 1960 s and 1970 s, as Western countries outbreak of severe urban crisis, the rise of Western Marxist theory to space, space issues started into the category of critical reflection, just thinking space also will produce. French philosopher Henri Lefebvre first to carry the banner of spatial justice, made his famous "production of space" theory, it has been proposed to David Harvey ? "unbalanced geographical development" and "History- Geography materialism" theory so that space just thinking into spring academic research.In China, with the rapid development of society, to speed up the process of urbanization. Many space problem increasingly prominent, for example, urban and rural development and utilization of space resources conflicts, ecological destruction of space, urban sub-health issues such as mental space sectors gradually attracted attention of domestic scholars. Including Professor Ren Ping research on urban sustainable development, Professor Hu Taiping on space research steering ? David Harvey Space Idea of Justice and the like. But I found in the study, Chinese scholars in the study of spatial thinking when justice often lack social support Marxist critical theory. Space Idea of Justice should come from space and space in various injustices criticism. Space Idea of Justice should not only to focus on the injustice occurring in a variety of surface space, domestic space issues and urban ecology group spirit, also the problem of lack of space in space should be concerned about justice, including After the Marxist focus is mostly on the social space in the physical level. Therefore, this study contribute to a better return to space just thought Horizon of Historical Materialism to help explore the road of health and social development, including urban development path, but also help to better deal with the survival of the national culture space and development issues, as well as micro-level personal spiritual life space issues.Firstly "spatial turn" brief introduction to space justice "concept, content; secondly, to return to the original works of Marx and Engels explore Marx and Engels thoughts about the space the main research content. Thirdly, the paper analyses the to Foucault and Lefebvre, David Harvey and Edward Soya etc. by Marxist scholars Space justice thought(spatial justice thoughts of contemporary extension).
