Time and space are not only the modes of existence of the material movement in nature,but also the preexistence conditions for the survival and development of human society.However,in the field of philosophy,people pay much less attention to space than to time.As history moved into the 19 th century,capitalism and its rapid development spread its influence all over the world.In particular,the third scientific and technological revolution in the 20 th century has brought people around the world closer,providing a good platform for all kinds of exchanges and expanding the space for economic and cultural exchanges.However,this kind of development in the form of capital logic has also brought about a series of spatial problems,such as the widening gap between developed and developing countries.Under such a historical background,a trend of "spatial turning" has emerged in the academic circle,and Marx and Engels' critical theory of space has been gradually valued by more scholars.As a dimension of Marx and Engels' criticism of capitalism,although they did not directly express it in their texts,their abundant theoretical content still provided considerable spiritual resources for later generations.Marx and Engels' critical theory of space is not formed in a day,but has a profound historical background and theoretical source.On the one hand,the world historical background and the urban and rural spatial background laid the foundation for the breadth of his theory;on the other hand,the philosophical inquiry of western philosophy on the existence of space and the development of natural science in the 19 th century laid the foundation for the depth of his theory.Of course,the formation of Marx and Engels' critical theory of space is closely related to their critical theory of space.Marx and Engels' critical theory of space reveals the thought of "two certainties" from the spatial dimension,and also reflects the inevitable tendency of proletariat to reconstruct the space under the control of capital logic.Marx and Engels' critical theory of space still has important practical significance and enlightenment.From a macro level,in the face of the complex international situation,to break away from the traditional sense of space expansion and achieve peaceful development,we need to promote the building of a "community with a Shared future for mankind" and "One Belt And One Road",from the meso level,we should develop in the developing of urban and rural areas as a whole,as a whole the harmonious development of man and nature,to better promote the development of cyberspace.From the micro level,we should promote the all-round development of human beings through the formulation and implementation of relevant systems.
