This book focuses on various concepts of space and their historical
evolution. In particular, it examines the variations that have
modified the notions of place, orientation, distance, vacuum,
limit, bound and boundary, form and figure, continuity and
contingence, in order to show how spatial characteristics are
decisive in a range of contexts: in the determination and
comprehension of exteriority; in individuation and identification;
in defining the meaning of nature and of the natural sciences; in
aesthetical formations and representations; in determining the
relationship between experience, behavior and environment; and in
the construction of mental and social subjectivity. Accordingly,
the book offers a comprehensive review of concepts of space as
formulated by Kant, Husserl, Heidegger, Einstein, Heisenberg,
Penrose and Thorne, subsequently comparing them to notions
developed more recently, in the current age, which Foucault dubbed
the age of space. The book is divided into four distinct yet deeply
interconnected parts, which explore the space of life, the space of
experience, the space of science and the space of the arts.
