Rainer Funk Boeken

Discusses the influences of Erich Fromm, examines his conception of the nature of man, and analyzes his views of social psychology, philosophy, ethics, and religion

A classic from one of the masters of psychotherapy, Erich Fromm.[Bokinfo].

Rainer Funk, Erich Fromm’s last scientific collaborator and administrator of his literary estate, answers a total of 100 questions posed by Hamid Lechhab. The conversation introduces the wide spectrum of Erich Fromm’s scientific and humanistic thought in order to make his findings meaningful to the present. The focus is on the social psychology developed by Fromm, with which it is possible to explain how technical, economic, and social changes affect the mental striving of human beings and lead either to more freedom and self-determination or to more dependence and being determined by others.

To Have Or to Be? is one of the seminal books of the second half of the 20th century. Nothing less than a manifesto for a new social and psychological revolution to save our threatened planet, this book is a summary of the penetrating thought of Eric Fromm. His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the having mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the being mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity. To Have Or to Be? is a brilliant program for socioeconomic change.>

Eine erste Psychoanalyse des postmodernen Charakters Der neue Persönlichkeitstyp unseres postmodernen Zeitalters ist der Ich-Orientierte. Selbstbestimmt und frei von allen Vorgaben erzeugt er seine eigene Wirklichkeit, anstatt sich der gegebenen, oft bedrückenden Realität auszuliefern. Aber wie sieht es in seinem Innersten aus? Welche Bedürfnisse, Triebe, Sehnsüchte, Träume hat er, und erlaubt sein postmoderner Lebensstil ihre Befriedigung? Die Merkmale sowie die Auswirkungen der postmodernen Ich-Orientierung zeigt der Psychoanalytiker Dr. Rainer Funke kenntnisreich, profund und gut nachvollziehbar.
