Description:
To Have or To Be? is one of Erich Fromm’s most important late works, expanding his lifelong inquiry into the psychological and ethical foundations of modern life. In this book, Fromm contrasts two opposing modes of existence: one oriented toward possession, control, and consumption, and another grounded in presence, creativity, love, and inner freedom. Drawing on psychology, philosophy, social theory, and spiritual thought, Fromm offers a searching critique of industrial society while proposing a humane and life-affirming alternative.
Published as part of the World Perspectives series edited by Ruth Nanda Anshen, this first edition reflects the interdisciplinary seriousness of the series and situates Fromm among the major thinkers shaping twentieth-century humanistic psychology and social philosophy. This copy comes from the library of a practicing therapist and has been carefully preserved, remaining in exceptional condition.
