Sane Society

Más información sobre el libro

<p><i>The Sane Society </i>is a continuation and extension of the brilliant psychiatric concepts Erich Fromm first formulated in <i>Escape from Freedom</i>; it is also, in many ways, an answer to Freud’s <i>Civilization and its Discontents</i>. Fromm examines man’s escape into overconformity and the danger of robotism in contemporary industrial society: modern humanity has, he maintains, been alienated from the world of their own creation. Here Fromm offers a complete and systematic exploration of his “humanistic psychoanalysis.” In so doing, he counters the profound pessimism for our future that Freud expressed and sets forth the goals of a society in which the emphasis is on each person and on the social measures designed to further function as a responsible individual.</p><p></p>
