„Být šťastný znamená konzumovat stále novější a lepší zboží, filmy, hudbu, požitky, sex, alkohol a cigarety . .
Každý je ‚šťastný‘, jenom už nic necítí, nedokáže rozumně myslet a neumí už milovat.“
Tato kniha je pokračováním slavného díla Strach ze svobody, ve kterém se jeho autor Erich Fromm, velký humanistický psycholog a sociolog pokouší ukázat, že totalitární systémy apelují na hlubokou skrytou touhu v člověku – utéci před svobodou. Současný moderní člověk, osvobozený od vazeb středověku , ještě ale není...

Following the publication of the seminal Fear of Freedom, Erich Fromm applied his unique vision to a critique of contemporary capitalism in The Sane Society. Where the former dealt with man's historic inability to come to terms with his sense of isolation, and the dangers to which this can lead, The Sane Society took his theories one step further. In doing so it established Fromm as one of the most controversial political thinkers of his generation. Anaylsing how individuals conform to contemporary capitalist and patriarchal societies, the book was published to wide...

Drawing on the findings of anthropology, palaeontogy, psychology and history; and including character analyses of Stalin, Hitler and Himmler, this title shows how the failure to use our capacity for love and reason results in the development of the reverse: we wish to control life absolutely, or to destroy it.

First published in 1962 and long unavailable, BEYOND THE CHAINS OF ILLUSION is, only at first glance, a book about Marx and Freud--those two intellectual giants of the 20th century. Fromm here shows himself an outstanding interpreter of Marx. In all, Fromm's re-creation of the Freudian and Marxist way of thinking is, essentially, a look at the individual and society. BEYOND THE CHAINS OF ILLUSION will introduce many of today's readers to unknown aspects of Marx and Freud, as it also serves as a unique introduction to the life and mind of Erich Fromm as well. A new foreword by Fromm...

To Have Or to Be? is one of the seminal books of the second half of the 20th century. Nothing less than a manifesto for a new social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet, this book is a summary of the penetrating thought of Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity....

The author sees love as the ultimate need and desire of all human beings. In this book he discusses every aspect of the subject: romantic love, the love of parents for children, brotherly love, erotoc love, self love and the love of God. He looks at the theory of love as it appears throughout the cultures of the world and at the practice, how we show or fail to show love for one another. Love is an art which we need to develop and practice in order to find true contentment. We need to find it individually as well as a society as a whole.
