Beyond the Chains of Illusion

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

First published in 1962, Beyond the Chains of Illusion is Fromm’s landmark book about Marx and Freud. Here, he delivers original readings of these hugely influential thinkers and, in doing so, offers us new ways of understanding the individual and society.

Perhaps even more revealing than these readings is the insight we get into Fromm’s own thought and the political and social contexts in which he formed his ideas. Including a foreword by Fromm’s Literary Executor, Rainer Funk, this is a unique introduction to Marx and Freud, and also to Fromm’s life and thought.
