The Sane Society
of Erich Fromm
Description
Social psychologist Erich Frommâs seminal exploration of the profound ills of modern society, and how best to overcome themOne of Frommâs main interests was to analyze social systems and their impact on the mental health of the individual. In this study, he reaches further and asks: âCan a society be sick?â He finds that it can, arguing that Western culture is immersed in a âpathology of normalcyâ that affects the mental health of individuals. In The Sane Society, Fromm examines the alienating effects of modern capitalism, and discusses historical and contemporary alternatives, particularly communitarian systems. Finally, he presents new ideas for a re-organization of economics, politics, and culture that would support the individualâs mental health and our profound human needs for love and freedom.
