ABSTRACT
Diverse concepts of space developed in history of natural philosophy, mathematics, physics, and other natural or cultural studies form theoretical models of spatial relations, given in human’s experience. Their diversity is due not only to the multiplicity of philosophical and methodological approaches to the concept of space, but also to the variety of ways, in which spatial relationships can be organized. This variety gives a possibility to distinct autonomous spaces of different types with diverse sets of properties as well as separate spaces with their own ordinal, metrical, and sequential structures. Particularly, various ways of space semiotization in culture generate different types of autonomous and separate spaces: written texts, maps, pictures, chessboards, etc. In the same time, all particular notions of space are included in a general logical class. Its volume and content are covered by the philosophical category of space. Such general category cannot be reduced to mathematical, physical, or other concepts of space elaborated in particular sciences, however, it serves as a philosophical basis for their comparison.
