Download A Macat Analysis of C. Wright Mills's The Sociological Imagination AudioBook Free
When American sociologist C. Wright Mills's The Sociological Creativeness was first posted in 1959, it provoked much hostile response. This was understandable: the booklet was a hard-hitting assault about how sociology was used - and on lots of leading sociologists. Mills was a fierce critic of both modern capitalism and Soviet-style authoritarianism, and argued that the sociology career failed to look at how people's problems are linked to the set ups of the society where they live. He criticized two leading tendencies of sociology in the post-World War II period. The first was concentrating only on the research data that might be accumulated, to the exclusion of reflecting on greater issues. The next was focusing on handling abstract theoretical issues with no regard for the real problems people face in their lives. Perhaps surprisingly, in only a few ages, the profession emerged around to Mills's way of thinking, and his publication is currently considered an integral explanation of the fundamental objective of sociology.
