Abstract: The evolvement of spatial concepts in traditional western philosophy follows a dual logic. One is the'metaphysical'spatial concept which was initiated by Aristotle, and then was developed by Newton, Leibniz and Kant, and at last was ended by Hegel. The other is the 'subject-body'spatial concept which gradually emerged from Descartes. It contained three phases: the understanding of dimension of subject-body, the prevalence of spatial analytical method of psychological experiment and the ontological elaboration of space. And the representatives are Locke, Berkeley, Hume, Nietzsche, Merleau-Ponty, Piaget, Heidegget, etc.
