Erich Fromm
Erich Fromm (1900–1980) was a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, philosopher, and humanist thinker. He was born in Frankfurt to a Jewish family and studied sociology, psychology, and philosophy in Heidelberg. He was associated with the Frankfurt School of Critical Theory and was deeply involved in linking psychoanalysis with social theory and humanistic ethics.
Fromm believed that human psychology could not be understood without the context of the society in which a person lived. His best-known work, Escape from Freedom (1941), analyzes how individuals in modern society have turned to authoritarian ideologies to escape the burden of personal freedom. In The Art of Loving, The Healthy Society, and To Have or To Be, he promoted the ideas of authentic love, individual maturity, and ethical humanism.
For Fromm, the ideal was a social transformation that allowed for the development of man as a free, creative, and responsible being. He was also active in political life, advocating peace, prudence, and democratic socialism. After the Nazis came to power, he emigrated to the United States, where he continued his academic and therapeutic career.
He died in Switzerland in 1980, leaving a deep mark on humanistic psychology and social philosophy.
