Description

If humanity can not live with the dangers and responsibilities inherent in freedom, it’ll probably turn to authoritarianism. That is the central idea of Escape from Freedom, a landmark work by probably the most distinguished thinkers of our time, and a book that may be as timely now as when first published in 1941. Few books have thrown such light upon the forces that shape up to date society or penetrated so deeply into the causes of authoritarian systems. If the upward thrust of democracy set some people free, on the same time it gave birth to a society in which the individual feels alienated and dehumanized. The use of the insights of psychoanalysis as probing agents, Fromm’s work analyzes the illness of recent civilization as witnessed by its willingness to submit to totalitarian rule.
