Synopsis "on being human"

Any attempt to identify the thread that runs through the late Erich Fromm's writings will soon uncover an unequivocally humanistic world view. From the 1930s on, this was Fromm's guiding principle. It signified Fromm's break with the Frankfurt School: Marcuse, Adorno and Horkheimer. This posthumous volume includes writings from one of Fromm's most fertile periods--the 1960s. These writings concentrate on humanistic science, socialism, religion, and psychoanalysis. They are from lectures, works written for specific occasions, and manuscripts intended as books. Of particular interest is an extended essay on two very different thinkers: Meister Eckhart and Karl Marx.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980) was an influential psychoanalyst, sociologist, and German philosopher, whose work addressed humanistic psychology and the critical analysis of modern society. Educated at the Frankfurt School, he combined Marxism with Freudian psychoanalysis, exploring the relationship between individual and society. His books have had a lasting impact on psychology, philosophy, and politics, standing out for their focus on freedom, love, and human nature.

Among his most recognized works are The Art of Loving (1956), The Fear of Freedom (1941), and To Have or to Be (1976), where he reflects on consumerism and alienation. His legacy remains relevant in debates about ethics, individualism, and psychological well-being.
