Description
In The Sane Society, esteemed social psychologist Erich Fromm, alongside Leonard A. Anderson, delves into the intricate fabric of modern life, examining the psychological and social constructs that shape individual and collective existence. This profound exploration challenges the reader to reconsider the notions of sanity in a world often dictated by materialism and alienation.
The Story
Fromm presents an incisive analysis of contemporary society, arguing that the pursuit of wealth and conformity leads to a disconnection from our true selves. He posits that a sane society must prioritise love, creativity, and genuine human connection over the hollow pursuits of consumerism. Through a blend of psychological insight and social critique, Fromm encourages readers to reflect on the values that underpin their lives, ultimately advocating for a more humane and compassionate world.
