abstract
The main impulse behind the writing of the article was the new Czech edition of Mills’ The Sociological Imagination (2002). The article provides an account of the context in which Mills’ work appeared and was rated here and for comparative purposes in Poland in the 1960s, which was a very important period for the development of sociology in both countries. The author believes that the article may enable the younger generation of our sociologists to compare the reception of Mills’ book in the Sixties with the way it appears today. Such a comparison can be very interesting and instructive in many respects, and may also inspire thoughts on the fate of important sociological works at different stages in the development of sociology and in different national sociological traditions.
