مزالق الحداثة عند إريك فروم

الملخص EN

Eric Fromm, despite the scientific and intellectual progress and despite seeking all means of comfort and prosperity for mankind, sensed a certain aberration within the western civilisation as it valued materialism and consumerism, and glorified power until it made of a human merely a automaton.

the majority of this civilisation’s achievements took an opposite path to human nature, which led to the making of disturbed and mentally ill individuals.

a plethora of sicknesses and despairs tire their bodies, weaken their souls, threaten their civilisation, and challenge his achievements.

Fromm noted that the progress man achieved led to several identity issues.

issues between him and his inner self.

he became increasingly alienated and materialistic and made him lose his identity due to the limits of his own understanding and due to the total surrender to his consumeristic desires.
