Description
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 drawn 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.
On Being Human captures the essence of Fromm's humanistic philosophy and offers a profound insight into the mind of a transformative thinker.

About the Author
Born in Frankfurt-am-Main, Erich Fromm (1900-1980) studied sociology and psychoanalysis. In 1933, he emigrated as a member of the Frankfurt School of social thinkers to the United States, moved to Mexico in 1950, and spent his twilight years between 1974 and 1980 in Switzerland. His books Fear of Freedom (1941) and The Art of Loving (1956) made him famous. Other well-known books are Marx's Concept of Man, Beyond the Chains of Illusion, and The Essential Fromm.
