【摘要】C•赖特•米尔斯(C. Wright Mills 1916—1962)是美国最有影响的激进主义社会学家之一。他深受德国古典社会学和美国实用主义理论的影响,关注美国的社会结构与权力问题。通过对20世纪中期美国社会进行分析,米尔斯认为美国正处在一种民主缺失的状态,在这种环境下知识分子应该具备“社会学的想象力”,青年知识分子是今后社会变革的主力。他宏观的社会学研究视角和激进的批判态度对美国社会学的发展和新左派运动的兴起起到了重要作用。本文拟从形成过程、主要内容和影响三方面对米尔斯的社会政治思想进行梳理,进而探讨其思想中可供当代中国借鉴的部分。38266

The study of C. Wright. Mills’ social-political thoughts
【Abstract】 Charles Wright Mills (August 28, 1916 – March 20, 1962) is one of the most influential radical sociologist. He was heavily influenced by the theories of German classical sociology and American pragmatism, focusing on issues of social structure and power. Through the analysis of America in the mid-20th century, Mills considers the country is in a lack-of-democracy state and intellectuals should have‘the sociological imagination’ in such situation. Further more, he believes that young intellectuals must be the main force in the coming social change. His macroscopic sociological observation and radical criticism have exerted a remarkable impact on the development of American sociology and the New Left movements.
