Features: In critical social theory, there has often been a tendency to focus on the study of human history, indulging in historical imagination. This has directly led to neglect of geography and space. This book questions this trend. The author rigorously criticizes "historical determinism" and its restrictive role on geographical imagination. Based on an examination of the research findings of thinkers such as Foucault, Berger, Giddens, Bellman, Jameson, and especially Henri Lefebvre, the author advocates for a historical materialism of geography, which fundamentally rethinks the dialectical relationship between space, time, and social existence.
