The uneven geographical development in general expresses the diversity of history and its es-sence has changed under capitalist mode of production.There are four epistemological modes concerning capi-talist uneven geographical development which can be called historicist/diffusionist interpretations, constructiv-ist arguments, environmentalist explanations and geopolitical interpretations.The“unified field theory” of un-even geographical development reconstructs the given epistemology through the dialectics of relation, process and totality, which depicts the panorama of capitalist uneven geographical development.Chinese spatial prodution differs from western countries, but we can build up our own theory of uneven development referring to Harvery’ s.We should re-think Chinese uneven development in the way of more correspondence to today’ s historical and geographical conditions.We must pay more attention to its political implication and try to transform the uneven development determined by capital into the benign differences controlled by society.%广义上的不平衡地理发展表达着历史的多样性特征，在资本主义生产方式作用下，不平衡地理发展实现了一次本质转移，对它的认知形成了播化论、建构主义、环境决定论和地缘政治学四种模式。哈维的“统一场论”通过关系、过程和总体辩证法重构了既有认知成果，描绘出资本主义不平衡的一幅多维图景。中国的空间生产实践在语境上不同于西方资本主义替代性政治取向，但我们可以以“统一论”为参照构建自己的不平衡发展理论，以同当前更加复杂的历史地理状况相称的方式重新思考中国的不平衡问题，更加重视其政治内涵，将由经济和资本主导的不平衡发展转化为社会主导的有益差异的增殖。
