Taking It Big
Taking It Big
This chapter discusses the political and intellectual direction of some of Mills' later writings. In these writings, Mills accomplishes his own summing up and takes the tendencies of his earlier work to a new level. Three works stand out: The Sociological Imagination, still his most widely read book; The Marxists, a collection of writings by some leading thinkers in this vein; and the unfinished The Cultural Apparatus, which Mills intended as his next big project. The Sociological Imagination is nothing short of a program for a new social science. The chapter also briefly attempts to explicate his most important intellectual and political contributions.
Keywords: social science, The Sociological Imagination, The Marxists, The Cultural Apparatus
