Description:
<DIV><b>Social psychologist</b><b> Erich Fromm probes deep into the roots of religion to find its humanistic essence</b></div><DIV></div><DIV><BR>In 1950, Erich Fromm attempted to free religion from its social function and to develop a new understanding of religious phenomena. Rather than analyzing what people believe in—whether they’re monotheistic, polytheistic, or atheistic—Fromm presents an idea of what religion means in secular terms.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>In his timeless and straightforward style, Fromm unmasks the alienating effects of any authoritarian religion. He reveals how a humanistic religion is conducive to one’s own humanity, and explains why psychoanalysis does not threaten religion. Whether you’re a believer or a long-time atheist, Fromm’s erudite analysis of religion is sure to reshape your concept of spirituality.</div><DIV> </div><DIV>This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erich Fromm including rare images and never-before-seen documents from the author’s estate.</div><DIV> </div>
