The Sane Society - Want It All

The Sane Society

Social psychologist Erich Frommâ€™s seminal exploration of the profound ills of modern society, and how best to overcome them

One of Frommâ€™s 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: â€œCan a society be sick?â€ He finds that it can, arguing that Western culture is immersed in a â€œpathology of normalcyâ€ that affects the mental health of individuals.
Â
InÂ 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 individualâ€™s mental health and our profound human needs for love and freedom.

This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the authorâ€™s estate.
