The Spatial Phenomenology of Social Formations and Its New Civilizational Forms:The Dimension of Spatial Production in Chinese-style Modernization
The study of spatialization in social life stands as a pivotal subject in contemporary philosophy and the social sciences.Lefebvre,in his seminal work The Production of Space,posits that any social existence purporting to be'real',yet failing to engender its own space,becomes an enigmatic entity-a peculiar abstraction unable to extricate itself from the confines of ideology or culture.He thus prompts inquiry into the nature of spatial production under socialism as juxtaposed with capitalism's commercial spatiality and the spatial configurations of democratic nation-states.Current research underscores Lefebvre's theory of spatial production and its dialectical phenomenology of the lifeworld,which,through a reflective critique of rationalist and naturalist"spatial illusions"that may seem opposed but are in fact isomorphic,unveils the dual abstract nature of capitalism's commercial world and modern political states.Moreover,it delineates a path for socialist spatial production while constituting a reconfiguration and deepening of Marxist social morphology theory within spatial phenomenology.The overarching structure and historical logic of the dialectical movement of spatial production-such as repetition and differentiation,centralization and decentralization-not only concretizes and enriches the dialectical implications of spatial production forms but also unveils the scientific foundations and the inevitability of socialist space supplanting capitalist space.The transition in human-nature relations from domination to utilization,exemplified by the traits of differentiation and decentralization in spatial production,embodies both the revolutionary character of socialist spatial production and the intrinsic unity between not only nature and politics but also between human liberation and natural liberation.In the contemporary era,the holistic ecological civilization espoused by the Communist Party of China further elucidates the fundamental configuration and practical strategies of socialist spatial production,elucidating the essential prerequisites and historical trajectory of Chinese-style modernization.The establishment of a community that affirms a shared future for humankind not only embodies a new manifestation of"a shared beautiful world"within the realm of political ecology but also represents a novel conception of"a differential spatial organization around Mother Earth"within the context of spatial dialectics.Most significantly,it signifies"the future of the people of all countries"within the framework of a new human civilization.Interpreting Lefebvre's theory of spatial production from a philosophical standpoint can illuminate various misconceptions and debates surrounding spatial dialectics.It can also enrich our comprehension of the theoretical,practical,and transcendent dimensions of socialism with Chinese characteristics.This not only establishes a research trajectory within spatial social theory,epitomized by Harvey's theory of spatial justice and Soja's postmodern geography,but also represents a crucial facet of Marxist philosophy and theories of Chinese-style modernization.
