The Sociological Imagination (ISBN 0195133730) was a book written by C. Wright Mills in 1959. This highly acclaimed classic work states Mills' views for how social science should be pursued. A somewhat abrasive critique, The Sociological Imagination took issue with American sociology, particularly that which flourished in prestigious sociology departments. Mills longed for a more human sociology that linked the social, personal, and historical dimensions of everyday life. The sociological imagination Mills had in mind was a new way of seeing the world that recognized links between widespread societal issues and the private problems of the individual.
