摘要本文使用学习空间的概念来反思将帮助人类获得支持向持久的后资本主义社会经济过渡的智慧的教育学。自从柏拉图的学院以来，专门的“学术”空间被从经济生活中分离出来。虽然人类自然而然地一直在学习，但获得更高地位的学习仍然受到限制。大多数学习都是非正式的，在学术空间之外。一个例子来自100多年前出版的一本小说，一个没有希望的工作场所变成了深入学习社会主义抵抗运动的空间。我会提出，人类在各个尺度上占据的所有空间，从房间到地球，不仅仅是那些正规教育的空间，都是学习空间。问题是如何将它们联系起来，形成一个全球交流空间，这个空间可以被称为学习型社会，或者被称为后资本主义、社会主义、共产主义或相关生产者的社会。在我最近退休之前，我在布莱顿大学设计并教授了一个关于教育地理学的模块，其中介绍了这里概述的想法。
ABSTRACT This paper uses the concept of learning spaces to reflect on the pedagogies that will help humans acquire the wisdom to support a transition to a durable postcapitalist socioeconomy. Since Plato’s Academy dedicated “academic” spaces have been set aside from economic life. While humans naturally learn all the time, access to higher status learning remains restricted. Most learning is informal and outside academic spaces. An example is given from a novel published more than 100 years ago of an unpromising workplace becoming a space for deep learning about socialist resistance. I will suggest that all spaces occupied by humans at every scale from the room to the globe, and not just those of formal education, are learning spaces. The question is how they can be linked up to form a global space of exchange that could be called a learning society or, alternatively, postcapitalism, socialism, communism, or the society of associated producers. The ideas outlined here were presented in a module on Geographies of Education that I designed and taught at the University of Brighton until my recent retirement.
