The Sane Society – (PDF/EPUB Version)

A New York Times bestseller about overcoming the profound ills of modern society by a legendary social psychologist, the author of Escape from Freedom. ? One of Fromm?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: ?Can a society be sick?? He finds that it can, arguing that Western culture is immersed in a ?pathology of normalcy? 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 individual?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 author?s estate. ? ?
