Bøger af Erich Fromm

Drømme har i alle kulturer og til alle tider optaget os som mennesker. Var det gudernes dunkle tale eller en indre evne hos os selv til at se virkeligheden i et andet lys? Under alle omstændigheder var meningen svær at forstå – og netop derfor så fristende at fastholde og fortolke i myter, eventyr og anden digtning og kunst.Erich Fromm (1900-1979) tager udgangspunkt i det rige symbolsprog, der forener nattens drømme med bl.a. myter og eventyr. Det fører ham videre til psykoanalysens drømmetydning (Freud og Jung) og tidligere tiders psykologiske tolkninger, og i en række nærlæsninger – Ødipus-myten, Lille Rødhætte, Processen (Kafka) m.fl. – øser Fromm af sin store indsigt.Bogen udkom første gang på dansk i 1967 og genudgives nu i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere.

En dybsindig analyse af det ondes og det godes natur. Erich Fromm viser, hvorledes mennesket ved at miste sin evne til uafhængighed, kærlighed og fornuft uvægerligt udvikler de destruktive kræfter, som fører til umenneskeliggørelse – til fænomener som Stalin og Hitler. På denne baggrund vises vej for det moderne menneske til at undgå selvødelæggelsen.Menneskets hjerte åbner nye veje for psykoanalysen og den dynamiske socialpsykologi ved at anvende Freuds teorier på nye og omfattende områder.Bogen er fortsættelsen af Kunsten at elske og genudgives i Hans Reitzels Forlags serie Klassikere og udkom første gang på dansk i 1966.

Renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm examines the causes and effects of people's violent tendencies in The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness.In this provocative book, the distinguished author writes to break the deadlock argued about the roots of human nature by exploring the struggle between the instinctivism of Konrad Lorenz and behavior psychologist B. F. Skinner: are people inherently antagonistic or do people learn hostility from their environment and the actions of those around them?Drawing from neurophysiology and anthropology studies and findings, Fromm presents fascinating ideas about how the human character and condition developed-and continues to develop-in contemporary society."A book by Erich Fromm is always intelligent and contains much of interest and insight, and this one is no exception."-The New York Times

The Sane Society is a continuation and extension of the brilliant psychiatric concepts Erich Fromm first formulated in Escape from Freedom; it is also, in many ways, an answer to Freud's Civilization and its Discontents. 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.

”Det er forfatterens ønske med denne bog at vise, at kærligheden ikke er en følelse, som alle og enhver let kan hengive sig til uden hensyn til, hvilket modenhedstrin de har nået. Den ønsker at overbevise læseren om, at alle hans forsøg på at øve kærlighed er dømt til at slå fejl ... og at man ikke kan opnå tilfredsstillelse i sin individuelle kærlighed uden evnen til at elske sin næste, uden sand ydmyghed, mod, tro og selvdisciplin. I en kultur, hvor disse egenskaber er sjældne, vil man kun i sjældne tilfælde opnå evnen til at elske.” Erich FrommErich Fromm er en af de få forfattere, der både har vovet og formået at skrive sammenhængende, dybtgående – og stadig aktuelt – om kærlighed.Oversat fra engelsk efter [] The Art og loving[] af P.W. Perch

This collection of talks and seminars given by Erich Fromm between 1964 and 1980 deal with the issues between analyst and analysand, which go to the heart of the psychoanalytic process. For Fromm, the analyst is his or her own next patient, as the patient becomes his or her analyst.

First published in 1962, this is a book about Marx and Freud - the two intellectual giants of the 20th century. It introduces many of readers to unknown aspects of Marx and Freud, as it also serves as an introduction to the life and mind of Erich Fromm as well.

Why is it so difficult to break away from the kind of existence that is based on having? This work complements the texts "To Have or To Be" and "The Art of Being" with unpublished lectures, interviews, and apercus to lift us out of a life of passivity into one of creative joy.

When he was 26, the great psychoanalyst and philosopher Erich Fromm abandoned Judaism, though he himself was descended from a long line of rabbis and the product of a devout Jewish upbringing. This title contains essays that show a man who would eventually establish himself as a major thinker, producing some of that era's astute political works.

In this book Fromm set out to identify 'what man is, how he ought to live, and how the tremendous energies within man can be released and used productively.' It makes for exciting, illuminating, even life-changing reading.

This collection of works includes previously unpublished manuscripts and tape transcripts from the last two decades of Fromm's life, a period in which he was at his most productive.

Fromm sees right to the heart of our contradictory needs for community and for freedom like no other writer before or since. In Fear of Freedom, Fromm warns that the price of community is indeed high, and it is the individual who pays.

In a world in which violence in every form seems to be increasing, Erich Fromm has treated this problem with deep perception in the most original and far-reaching work of his brilliant career.
