He builds on this discussion by introducing C. Wright Mills s concept of the sociological imagination and outlining a method for thinking sociologically. He then moves back to the classical theorists, outlining their most important contributions to sociology.The second edition has been substantially revised throughout, including improved connections between the discussion of millennials and Mills s concept of the sociological imagination.
