With the case of Tiananmen Square in Beijing, this thesis intervenes into the contemporary discourse of "politics of space". It argues that the two theoretical perspectives provided by the contemporary spatial theorists---the structuralist approach and the phenomenological approach, have obvious inadequacy in understanding the phenomena of space in human society. For this regard, this thesis suggests to build up a political theory of space, which has its solid foundations in the spatial ideas in the classical political theories. The political perspective of space emphasizes the politics of space in the ideal-praxis processes. The perspective affirms the existence of the "autonomous sphere of political action", which is in contrary to the social theory, in which "the political" is subsumed under the macro social processes. The case of Tiananmen Square will demonstrate how space is related to human's collective action in pursuing the political and social utopia. / Lee Ka Kiu. / 論文(哲學博士)--香港中文大學, 2006. / 參考文獻(p. 232-263). / Adviser: Shu Yun Ma. / Source: Dissertation Abstracts International, Volume: 68-03, Section: A, page: 1144. / Electronic reproduction.
