Sommario/riassunto

Erich Fromm's insightful work on the modern human condition, and how to break free of its bondsIn the 1960s, renowned social psychologist Erich Fromm argued that people were becoming increasingly alienated. No longer were we dynamic, constantly creative beings. Instead, he observed, we were becoming fixated on things like television, while the specter of nuclear war remained a consistent worry. On Being Human gathers several ofFromm's writings on the ';New Humanism' he proposed. In addition, the book presents a most interesting chapter on ';Having' and ';Being' according to Master Eckhart and Karl Marx that originally was written to be included in To Have or To Be? This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author's estate.
