內容簡介

《社會學的想像力》堪稱米爾斯一生學術精華的大成之作；它以批判美國社會學界的成果作為全書的探討主題，運用知識社會學的觀點，並結合作者在社會階層等方面的研究經驗，批判傳統學科的抽象與僵化界限，由此強調“社會學想像力”的重大意義。

本書初版於1959年，現在已成為英語世界，乃至世界各地社會學教學中廣受推崇的入門經典；1989年美國社會學界還就本書發表30週年召集學者進行回顧性的專題研討。現在這個中譯本據牛津大學出版社刊行的40週年紀念版譯出。

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.

作者簡介

C·賴特·米爾斯，美國著名的批判社會學家。他早年求學於威斯康星大學，廣涉社會與政治理論，兼修史學和人類學，25歲獲博士學位。50年代初以《白領：美國的中產階級》一舉成名，並任教於哥倫比亞大學社會學系。他在知識社會學和美國社會階層研究這二個方面都有傑出的成績，則被視為其主要代表作，他與人合作編譯的《韋伯社會學文選》亦被認為是權威譯本。米爾斯1962年病逝於紐約，年僅46歲，死後被譽為“當代美國文明最重要的批評家之一”。
