从资本主义的幸存到现代性的阴影王国--《空间的生产》之语境、总问题与推想

From the Survival of Capitalism to the Shadow Kingdom of Modernity--Context,General Problems and Assumptions inProduction of Space

《空间的生产》是一部试图回答20世纪马克思主义最重要之问“资本主义何以幸存”并展开全面现代性批判的马克思主义哲学杰作。其核心论题是:资本主义因为把原有的直接物质生产方式升级为生产关系的再生产或空间的生产而得以苟延残喘,但亦因其固有矛盾进一步激化为空间的矛盾而必然灭亡。此书之重心不是后现代式三元空间辩证法,而是历史唯物主义精神升华的空间矛盾辩证法。但其解决问题之道并非传统马克思主义方案,却是“近尼采式”的集“国家-社会-文明”为一体的现代性三维批判推想。其中既有晚期马克思主义倾向,也有后马克思主义成分,是一份有争议的遗产。研究通过阐明列斐伏尔现代性批判的“三位一体”,以期摆脱目前学界对《空间的生产》的“后现代式”片面诠释以及“政治经济学批判式”简化解读这两大主流模式的过度依赖,恢复空间生产理论在马克思主义哲学中的本来面目与意义。

Production of Space is a masterpiece of Marxist philosophy which attempts to answer the most important question of Marxism in the 20th century:“Why Capitalism could survive”and conducts a comprehensive criticism of modernity.The core topic of this book is that capitalism could linger on with its last breath of life because it upgrades the original direct material production mode to the reproduction of production relations or the production of space,but it is bound to perish because its inherent contradiction would further intensify into the contradiction of space.The focus of this book is not the postmodern ternary space dialectics,but the dialectics of contradiction of space,which is sublimated from the spirit of Historical Materialism.However,the way to solve the question is not a traditional Marxist scheme,but the“near Nietzsche”three-dimensional critical project of modernity integrating“state-society-civilization”.It is considered to be a controversial heritage,since it contains both late Marxist tendencies and post Marxist elements.By elucidating the“Trinity”of Lefebvre's critique of modernity,the study aims to get rid of the over-dependence of the two mainstream models of the current academic community's“postmodern”one-sided interpretation of the“production of space”and the“critical”simplified interpretation of political economyand to restore the true face and significance of space production theory in Marxist philosophy.
