Este artigo visa apresentar a noçao de ressignificaçâo existencial advinda da experiencia mística, a partir de uma análise psicanalítica frommiana da obra de ficçao A cabana. Segundo o psicanalista ...Erich Fromm, a experiencia mística, pode instaurar no individuo profundas mudanças e aprimoramentos em sua personalidade. Essa reorientaçao existencial pode, inclusive, fornecer ao sujeito uma nova maneira de compreender e de lidar com as contingencias da vida, como é o caso da perda e do sofrimento advindo dela. Como recurso metodológico, este estudo irá se utilizar de uma leitura teórico-bibliográfica das seguintes obras A cabana, de autoria de William P. Young; e O espirito de liberdade, Psicanálise e religiäo e A linguagem esquecida; todas de Erich Fromm. Além destas obras, também recorremos a comentadores do psicanalista supracitado. Por fim, pretende-se mostrar que a experiencia mística pode promover no indivíduo um despertar interior, libertando-o assim de um ciclo de sofrimento existencial.
This article examines Erich Fromm (1900-1980) within the context of the so-called “renaissance of Jewish religious thought” in Germany during the early 20th century. It is well known that Fromm was a ...member of the Institute for Social Research, later called the Frankfurt School. The focus of this study, however, is on what has received little attention in research, namely Fromm’s involvement in founding the Freies jüdisches Lehrhaus (the Jewish House of Free Study) in Frankfurt. Fromm participated in the founding of the Lehrhaus as a student and later as a lecturer. During this time, Fromm also wrote his dissertation on Judaism at Heidelberg University. Methodologically, this paper intertwines the historical-biographical axis, which deals with Fromm’s connections to several thinkers: Rabbi Nehemia Nobel, Rabbi Georg Salzberger, Baruch Salman Rabinkow, Franz Rosenzweig, Ernest Simon and others, and the philosophical axis, which focuses on his dissertation, The Jewish Law.
The Freies jüdisches Lehrhaus in Frankfurt is primarily associated with Franz Rosenzweig and other thinkers who worked there, such as Gershom Scholem, Ernest Simon, Leo Löwenthal and Martin Buber, who wrote Ich und Du during the years he taught there. With the exception of Buber, the Lehrhaus was their first official teaching venue. The Lehrhaus was characterized by its dialogical atmosphere, and symmetrical relationships between teachers and students, which softened some of the rigidity that was the norm at German educational frameworks at the time. This atmosphere continued to influence Fromm in his adult life, in terms of his attitude towards religion, questioning of authority and his understanding of human nature. Finally, it later played a role in his departure from Freudian libido theory.
This study presents some key ideas from his dissertation, including his position on religious dogma, particularly concerning the Karaite sect, a subject that he later taught as a lecturer at the Lehrhaus. Fromm’s dissertation expresses his preoccupation with his Jewish identity and his examination of the complex theopolitical reality in which the Jews of Germany found themselves at the beginning of the 20th century, including the debates between Orthodox Jews and reformers, and between Zionists and anti-Zionists. This article supports the claim that Fromm’s position that religious factors play a central role in the historical process, which he held throughout his life, was formed in these early years. The article strengthens the scholarly position that Fromm’s Jewish background is relevant to understanding his thought in general.
Das Phänomen des Postfaktischen lässt sich in Anlehnung an Erich Fromm als einen modernen Fluchtmechanismus verstehen. Es handelt sich beim Postfaktischen um eine Flucht vor der Freiheit – eine ...Flucht vor dem freien und eigenständigen Denken und Handeln, dem sich das Individuum in der Moderne entziehen möchte, weil es sich selbst als ohnmächtig wahrnimmt. Allerdings unterscheidet sich diese Flucht von den bei Fromm noch als dominant beschriebenen Fluchtmechanismen ins Autoritäre bzw. Konformistische. Im Unterschied zu diesen ist die Flucht ins Postfaktische nicht mehr dadurch gekennzeichnet, dass sich das Individuum der Welt anpasst und unterwirft – vielmehr wird stattdessen die Welt angepasst und dem Selbst unterworfen. Ähnlich der Selbst-Verleugnung bei Fromm ist auch diese Welt-Verleugnung Symptom einer gestörten Welt-Selbst-Beziehung, die zu problematisieren ist.
This article addresses the place of society in Erich Fromm's pioneering psychoanalytic work and in the evolution of interpersonal theory and practice. It suggests that there is much to be gained from ...a re-examination of Fromm's politically progressive perspective. By bridging sociology and psychoanalysis, Fromm developed a new approach known as "social psychoanalysis," which sought to explain and understand the centrality of society in human experience and the therapeutic process. Fromm moved beyond Freud and found an ally in the American psychiatrist Harry Stack Sullivan. Together, Fromm and Sullivan became the key founders of the Interpersonal School of Psychoanalysis located at the William Alanson White Institute in New York. Despite their commonalities, however, Fromm and Sullivan differed in central areas, particularly on the issue of "adaptation" to society. Sullivan believed that adaptation was a marker of successful personality development and Fromm maintained that society inscribed pathology into the human being. This difference would prove definitive as interpersonal psychoanalysis moved from its radical beginnings to become a dominant school of contemporary psychoanalysis that focused on the interpersonal dyad and the interactions between the analyst and patient.
İnsanlık tarihinin ve yaşamının üç saç ayağını oluşturan din, toplumsallaşma türleri ve sanatın kaynağı üzerine birçok kuram ve teori ortaya atılmıştır. Sosyal bilimlerde yapılan çalışmaların çoğunun ...bu üç tema üzerine olduğunu rahatlıkla gözlemleyebiliriz. İnsanlık tarihinin her döneminde bir inanç sistemi, sanatsal eğilim ve farklı ilkelerle temellendirilmiş toplumsal ilişki türlerinin var olması, bu üç faktörün insanlığın zorunlu ürünleri olarak kabul edilmesine neden olmuştur. Erich Fromm bu zorunlu ortaya çıkışının kaynağına ilişkin farklı ve üstünde durulması gereken bir yaklaşım sunmaktadır. Fromm için bu olguların kaynağı “yalnızlık” olarak adlandırdığı insana özgü bir duygulanımdır. Bu araştırmada Erich Fromm’un, bu üç temel olguya yönelik felsefi bir zeminde inşa ettiği yaklaşımını, başta felsefe, psikoloji ve sosyoloji olmak üzere birçok disiplininin verilerinden faydalanarak yakından inceleyeceğiz.
Erich Fromm is not generally associated with policy positions and politics. Yet, Fromm was an early proponent of guaranteed income as an important practical entitlement necessary if greater human ...freedoms were to be realized. The article traces the development of the idea of basic (or guaranteed income) in US social movement history going back to the 1960s and including the writings of Erich Fromm on this topic. It argues that the concept of guaranteed income flows easily from, and is consonant with, Fromm's humanistic philosophy overall. Four reasons are offered, including those that are politically, ethically and pragmatically oriented, as to why providing basic income to all citizens has major advantages over the kind of economic precarity and anxieties that many people currently experience. Lastly, after making a multi-dimensional case for guaranteed income, the article responds to a common objection - namely, if basic income became universally available, people would not wish to work. Quite to the contrary, and as empirical experiments have shown, Fromm's ideas suggest that guaranteed income would encourage people to work with increased commitment and passion and that more positive than negative consequences would ensue from the concept becoming a widespread and much more generally accepted public policy.
El objetivo de este trabajo es esbozar una aproximación teórica que establezca las bases analíticas para estudiar el activismo performativo, un concepto novedoso que se popularizó durante las ...protestas que se llevaron a cabo en 2020 en Estados Unidos a causa de la brutalidad policial contra las personas afroamericanas, que define a aquellos individuos que se identifican con una causa sociopolítica no porque se sientan interpelados por ella, sino porque en su adhesión ven un medio para generar valor y reconocimiento social. A partir del pensamiento crítico de Erich Fromm y Byung-Chul Han conjeturamos que esta actitud es consecuencia de la manera en la que el carácter de los individuos modernos es influenciado por el sistema capitalista.
For many years, apart from sporadic eruptions in American society, the issue of race has played Banquo's ghost at the American evangelical banquet: an unsettling, unwelcome, somewhat passive guest. ...Critical race theory is the Marxist horse, ridden by the jockey of identity politics rather than the jockey of class warfare. Compare the logic of critical race theory with Chairman Mao's infamous circular of May 16, 1966, a foundational document of the Chinese Cultural Revolution: Just when we began the counter-offensive against the wild attacks of the bourgeoisie, the authors of the outline raised the slogan: "everyone is equal before the truth." How has it come to pass that radical thinking of this sort now shakes American evangelical institutions such as the Southern Baptist Convention to their foundations?
There is a question of whether the norms can have an objective reality, and not of whether the fulfilment of the needs enriches the life of the individual, suffocates him, prevents his or her ...development or is, on the contrary, self-destructive. The actual and conceptual liberation of reasoning are distorted by the person's tendency to restrain to the wonders of technology, which are the result of the new science, thus excluding the human being who is gets reduced to the role of a tool used for economic purposes.
