内容简介

《社会学的想像力》堪称米尔斯一生学术精华的大成之作；它以批判美国社会学界的成果作为全书的探讨主题，运用知识社会学的观点，并结合作者在社会阶层等方面的研究经验，批判传统学科的抽象与僵化界限，由此强调“社会学想像力”的重大意义。

本书初版于1959年，现在已成为英语世界，乃至世界各地社会学教学中广受推崇的入门经典；1989年美国社会学界还就本书发表30周年召集学者进行回顾性的专题研讨。现在这个中译本据牛津大学出版社刊行的40周年纪念版译出。

C. Wright Mills is best remembered for his highly acclaimed work The Sociological Imagination, in which he set forth his views on how social science should be pursued. Hailed upon publication as a cogent and hard-hitting critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with the ascendant schools of sociology in the United States, calling for a humanist sociology connecting the social, personal, and historical dimensions of our lives. The

sociological imagination Mills calls for is a sociological vision, a way of looking at the world that can see links between the apparently private problems of the individual and important social issues.

Leading sociologist Amitai Etzioni brings this fortieth anniversary edition up to date with a lucid introduction in which he considers the ways social analysis has progressed since Mills first published his study in 1959. A classic in the field, this book still provides rich food for our imagination.
