On Being Human

On Being Human by Fromm, Erich. Paperback edition. ISBN: 9780826410054.

Any attempt to identify the thread that runs through the late Erich Fromms writings will soon uncover an unequivocally humanistic world view. From the 1930s on, this was Fromms guiding principle. It signified Fromms break with the Frankfurt School: Marcuse, Adorno and Horkheimer. This posthumous volume includes writings from one of Fromms most fertile periods--the 1960s. These writings concentrate on humanistic science, socialism, religion, and psychoanalysis. They are 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.
