Summary

The chapter presents concepts of space as developed by Hobbes and Leibniz respectively. It highlights commonalities and differences in their respective concepts of space. For Hobbes, the concept of space is articulated through ideas of imaginary and real space. Hobbesian space emerges as determined by the measurment of bodies, material and thus controllable. This view of space strongly resonates with the uses of space is contemporary spatial justice studies. For Leibniz, space is a logical grounding against which the materiality of the world unfolds but also the outcome of the activity of monads as simple substances. For Leibniz, space as an order of relationships is not controllable but knowable.
