review 1: يبحث الكاتب في سيكلوجية الانسان محللا اشكال العنف المختلفه و النرجسيه والتدميريه و الحريه الحتميه والاختيار.يناقش الكتاب طبيعة الشر و الاختيار بينه و بين الخير تحت مفهومي النكروفيليا الذي هو حب حقيقي للموت و البيوليفيا التي هي حب الحياة.مبيناً ان حب الحياة و الاستقلال و تخطي النرجسيه كل ذلك يشكل "متلازمة نمو"في مقابل "متلازمة الانحلال"التي يُشكلها حب الموت و التعايش السفاحي و النرجسيه الخبيثه.
review 2: A maddening book. Fromm came so close... more, early in his career, to a theoretical breakthrough. This book, published in 1964, represents a serious regression in his thought. Rather than treat the psychology of ethics in scientific terms, he attempts to translate mental health into an existential idiom. In the process, he forfeits any hope he had at achieving an objective framework from which to judge human action.Rather than situate mental health within biology, Fromm relies heavily upon traditional notions of good and evil, and dark and light. He rejects the most radical aspects of Freud's thought, finding him guilty of a "mechanistic materialism." In his effort to translate Freud "into a new frame of reference," Fromm talks of "necrophilia," "narcissism" and "incestuous fixation," while robbing each them of their libidinal foundations. Suddenly, all these categories become obstacles to some some vague notion of spiritual independence, or "biophilia." Without Freud's psychosexual/evolutionary foundations, Fromm's whole project becomes meaningless proselytizing: we must make the positive choice; we must not resign ourselves to nuclear war; we still have the power to change the course of the future; we can still make the world a better place if we just hop on the noble path; etc., -- all stuff that's been said before. less
