摘　　要：米尔斯写作《社会学的想象力》的核心目标不是用一种理论去替换宏大理论,也不是用一种方法去取代抽象经验主义。米尔斯考虑的不是具体理论和方法的重建,而是针对流行于当时美国社会学界的理论和方法背后的一套科学哲学进行批判。他要用一种新的哲学去替代旧哲学。这种新的哲学就是主体性哲学,主张在研究实践中高扬人的能动性,将研究者自身作为工具。正是从这个意义上讲,米尔斯才强调心智品质的重要性。研究者的思维方式及其背后的一套主体性哲学,才是解除理论和方法抑制作用的关键,才是通往研究者解放的有效路径。The main goal of Mills’writing The Sociological Imagination is not to replace grand theory with a theory,nor to replace abstract empiricism with a method.Mills did not consider the reconstruction of specific theories or methods,but criticized a set of scientific philosophy behind the theories and methods popular in the American sociological circles at that time.He wanted to replace the old philosophy with a new one.This new philosophy is the philosophy of subjectivity,which advocates the promotion of human initiative in research practice and using researchers themselves as tools.It is in this sense that Mills emphasizes the importance of mental quality.The thinking patterns of researchers and a set of subjective philosophy behind them are the key to remove the inhibition of theories and methods,and the effective path to the liberation of researchers.This paper attempts to understand the theoretical implication of Mills’sociological imagination from the perspective of liberation.
