The future of public space is uncertain. Although public spaces have become increasingly shabby and crowded, novel alternatives have appeared in the form of fantastic, semi-public pleasure grounds, developed by well-heeled, crowd-pleasing entrepreneurs and devoted to profit, consumption, and self-indulgence. Philosophers and geographers have converged on the topic of public space, fascinated and in many ways alarmed by fundamental changes in the way post-industrial societies produce space for public use, and in the way citizens of these same societies perceive and constitute themselves as a public. The contributors to this volume advance this inquiry, making extensive use of political and social theory. Philosophy and Geography II: The Production of Public Space gives readers an enhanced appreciation of the intimate connections between political principles, social processes, and the commonplaces of our everyday environments.The kindle version of this book costs a ridiculous amount of money.

Introduction: Geography, Philosophy, and Public Space

Andrew Light and Jonathan M. Smith

Brook Farm was a utopian commune in West Roxbury, Massachusetts, which lasted from 1841 to 1847 and served as the setting for Nathaniel Hawthornes novel, The Blithedale Romance (1852). In the novel, Hawthorne describes the disillusionment of the transcendentalist communist Miles Coverdale. Dispiriting toil in the communal field moved Coverdale to groan that the heavy clods were never etherialized into thought, but the tillers thoughts, on the contrary, were fast becoming cloddish. Philosophy and Geography is founded on a belief that this is a creative tension, that thoughts are not necessarily degraded by the company of clods, that earth and ideas are miscible matters, that geography without philosophy is rather too willing to accept earth as it presently appears, that philosophy without geography is rather too eager to transcend earth and its mire of finitude, limits, and interdependence.

This creative tension is present in this volume on public space, where abstract ideas about the nature of the public mingle with accounts of concrete spaces with which they have been implicated. We begin this introduction with an overview of some of the broad trends and concerns that make the idea and the reality of public space such a timely topic.

The Public Sphere

Many of the articles in this volume make use of some concept of the public sphere, that is, public discussion and criticism of the state, or what Habermas described as a domain of our social life in which such a thing as public opinion can be formed,
