Perhaps August Comte did coin the phrase, I can't be sure of that. However there was a book written by C. Wright Mills called Sociological Imagination. It is the idea that people need to understand that their personal problems are reflections of the greater problems and issues in the society and they can relate their problems to these historical issues that are occurring in their society. Maybe that doesn't make sense. It's hard to word in a way that is easy to understand.

How would you recognize someone with a sociological imagination?

By their audacity of hope. Some of them come from Hope. I never had the pleasure of meeting Emanuel Kant, David Hume, or Karl Marx but I've read their works all darn good examples of sociological imagination. A modern construction made by sociological imagination is "universal health care". Here is a social idea that has been reduced to providing insurance coverage and their audacity of hope lies in their belief that insurance companies can heal a nation, or cure the sick. Affordable health care, another name for "universal health care" will not be found by inventing a place for middle men to profit off of the sickness of others. Public education is another great example of sociological imagination. The audacity of hope in this imaginary world is that bureaucrats are better equipped to provide people with an education than teachers and academics are. These are just a few examples of imaginary social treatments found in the imagination of sociological beasts.
