Description
Doreen Massey's For Space makes an impassioned argument for revitalising our imagination of space. She challenges well-established assumptions from philosophy and familiar ways of characterising the twenty-first century world, showing how they restrain our understanding of both the challenge and potential of space. The way we think about space matters, influencing our understandings of the world, attitudes to others, and politics. Massey's book pursues its argument through philosophical and theoretical engagement, as well as personal and political reflection. She asks questions such as how best to characterise spatial times, how implicit spatial assumptions inflect our politics, and how we might develop a responsibility for place beyond place. By re-examining the relationship between space and time, Massey offers a nuanced perspective on the social dimension of space. This thought-provoking work is essential reading for anyone interested in geography, sociology, or philosophy.
