Yet important areas of relevance—his critiques of symbiotic love and sadomasochism, advocacy of mutual recognition, and objections to patriarchal presumptions in Freud's work—render Fromm's thought useful for feminists. Disadvantages adhere in Fromm's ideas too, including sexist language and biologically-tinged maternalism. However, this paper reinterprets these problems to advocate for rediscovering both Fromm's feminist and humanist aspirations.}, language = {en} }
