空间是地理思维的核心概念。然而，对空间概念本身的探索相对较少的关注，无论是在地理之外还是在地理之内。本文首先考察了目前在地理学以及社会科学的许多其他领域占主导地位的空间“关系”观（通常被表现为对空间本身的阐释），探讨了与时间和地点相关的空间概念，特别利用了有界性、广延性和涌现性的概念，同时也阐明了关系性的概念。其目的是概述一种不同于当代地理学和社会理论中的空间理论模式，这种模式也将地理思维引入“哲学地形学”领域。
Space is a concept that is central to geographical thinking. Yet, relatively little attention has been given to exploration of the concept of space as such, and this is so outside of geography no less than within it. Beginning with an examination of the ‘relational’ view of space that now seems dominant in geography as well as many other areas of the social sciences (and which is often presented as an elucidation of space itself), this paper explores the concept of space as it stands in connection with time and place, making particular use of the notions of boundedness, extendedness, and emergence while also shedding light on the idea of relationality. The aim is to outline a different mode of theorizing space than is to be found in much of contemporary geography and social theory—one that also draws geographical thinking into the domain of ‘philosophical topography’.
