THE NEW SOCIOLOGICAL IMAGINATION

Book ID/图书代码： 10350007B11725

English Summary/英文概要： C. Wright Mills’ classic The Sociological Imagination has inspired generations of students to study Sociology. However, the book is nearly half a century old. What would a book address, aiming to attract and inform students in the 21st century? This is the task that Steve Fuller sets himself in this major new invitation to study Sociology.
The book:
" critically examines the history of the social sciences to discover what the key contributions of Sociology have been and how relevant they remain
" demonstrates how biological and sociological themes have been intertwined from the beginning of both disciplines, from the 19th century to the present day
" covers virtually all of sociology’s classic theorists and themes
" provides a glossary of key thinkers and concepts.

Awards/获奖情况：“Fuller 是科學史和科學哲學界、科學社會學研究領域最多產和客觀的作家。Fuller質疑進化心理學提出的“人性”和左派達爾文主義，另一方面又質疑生物技術和納米技術提出的“人性”概念。”——M. Oromaner

"Fuller is one of the most productive and critical writers in the history and philosophy of science and the social studies of science, technology, and society to use the title of his 1988 book. His current book is squarely within this tradition . . . Fuller raises significant questions concerning challenges to the concept of "humanity" posed by evolutionary psychology and the Darwinian Left on the one hand, and by developments in biotechnology and nanotechnology on the other hand." (M. Oromaner )
