In his point of view, the western society was abnormal in spite of its economic prosperity, which catabolized human and people themselves become commodities and robots. Fromm's theory neglected the development of productive forces and only superficially criticized capitalism. But to some degree it can still serve as a source of inspiration in rectifying the development concept of excessively emphasizing economic growth and in establishing principle of regarding human beings as our basic concern. Fromm's theory can also help us have a correct understanding of the changes of capitalism and avoid some drawbacks of western society, so as to achieve the healthy development of our socialism cause.}, language = {zh} } @article{Wang, author = {Wang, Yuanming}, title = {Fromm's Theory of Good Nature and Its Comparison with the Theory of Mencius [弗洛姆的性善论及其与孟子性善论的比较]}, series = {Journal of Tianjin Normal University (Social Science) [天津师范大学学报(社会科学版)], No. 5 (2007), pp. 20-24.}, journal = {Journal of Tianjin Normal University (Social Science) [天津师范大学学报(社会科学版)], No. 5 (2007), pp. 20-24.}, abstract = {Erich Fromm put forward that human's natural character was neither the collection of unchangeable instinctive desire nor the reflection of the infinitely plasticized social culture. Human's natural character, which is also called first potentiality was good-willed, and human's intention to destroy was only the result of the frustrated development of the first potentiality. Although both Fromm and Mencius advocated that human's nature was good, there are fundamental differences between their theories. Fromm regarded self-consciousness, spontaneous love and creativity as human's nature, which resulted from his probe into human's basic mental needs. However, according to Mencius, human's nature included virtue, morality, propriety, wisdom, loyalty and filial piety, which meet the needs of the feudal administration. While Fromm thought highly of independence, creativity and affection for oneself and other people, Mencius denied all these. He only preached affection for relatives and respect for people of higher ranks. Fromm demanded that the society is obliged to meet the basic mental needs of human beings. But Mencius asked people to abide by the autocratic hierarchy.}, language = {zh} }
