Erich Fromm (1900–1980) was a bestselling psychoanalyst and social philosopher whose views about alienation, love, and sanity in society—discussed in his books such as Escape from Freedom, The Art of Loving, The Sane Society, and To Have or To Be?—helped shape the landscape of psychology in the mid-twentieth century. Fromm was born in Frankfurt, Germany, to Jewish parents, and studied at the universities of Frankfurt, Heidelberg (where in 1922 he earned his doctorate in sociology), and Munich. In the 1930s, he was one of the most influential figures at the Frankfurt Institute of Social Research. In 1934, as the Nazis rose to power, he moved to the United States. He practiced psychoanalysis in both New York and Mexico City before moving to Switzerland in 1974, where he continued his work until his death.
Why do people choose authoritarianism over freedom? The classic study of the psychological appeal of fascism by a New York Times–bestselling author.
The pursuit of freedom has indelibly marked Western culture since Renaissance humanism and Protestantism began the fight for individualism and self-determination. This freedom, however, can make people feel unmoored, and is often accompanied by feelings of isolation, fear, and the loss of self, all leading to a desire for authoritarianism, conformity, or destructiveness.

It is not only the question of freedom that makes Fromm's debut book a timeless classic. In this examination of the roots of Nazism and fascism in Europe, Fromm also explains how economic and social constraints can also lead to authoritarianism.
By the author of The Sane Society and The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness, this is a fascinating examination of the anxiety that underlies our darkest impulses, an enlightening volume perfect for readers of Eric Hoffer or Hannah Arendt.

時至今日,距離弗洛姆所屬的法蘭剋福學派的興盛時期,已經過去瞭半個世紀,弗洛姆本人離世也已三十年矣。那些提倡無私奉獻、利他主義和犧牲精神,曾經烜赫一時的集權國傢早已煙消雲散,或是隻留下一個苟延殘喘的殘軀。這一點作為中國人想必有著深刻的體認。然而舊的權威的破滅...
評分這本書主要是從歐洲曆史著眼。人在文藝復興以前的社會中(主要是指中世紀)缺乏自由,但卻處在穩定的社會結構中。社會雖然嚴格的規定瞭每個人的社會身分和地位,不許越雷池半步,但同時也給餘個人以保障和安全感,使人不用為自己的前途、命運擔心。(參考封建時代或改革開放前...

評分作者艾裏希.弗洛姆在該書中闡述瞭兩戰時期社會政治現象,並利用瞭心理學的方法來講解孤獨與自由的聯係及逃避自由的心理。作者文中逃避的自由是屬於“積極自由”(即人自由地發展)。作者寫此書時處於二戰時的德國。法西斯主義在當時民主自由的歐洲國傢産生,並吸收瞭許多民眾。...

最好讀的書之一。文辭高雅,解釋瞭過去眼下的很多社會問題,更重要的是描繪瞭一個真正的理想國,理想人。越看到後麵越受激勵。
評分跳掉瞭VI章,最後一章看的眼紅紅。Only if we have faith in the PEOPLE。這裏提到的planned economy並不是我們日常使用的定義,事實上他以蘇聯為例批判瞭這種被小集團綁架的socialism,他所設想的是democratic socialism,即把democracy擴大化,而不僅局限於政治領域,隻有深入到生活的方方麵麵,纔能給個體人以真正的自由。第一眼看起來和之前讀過的malaise of modernity有衝突,畢竟後者提及inner morality時還是訴諸於神性之類,而這恰是這本批判的對象之一,但二者又殊途同歸,如果把後者提到的inner voice看作是人本初所具有的,超越現實偶像崇拜化的宗教。
