@misc{Cheng, author = {Cheng, Wen}, title = {On the Theory of Love in Fromm's Ethics [论弗洛姆伦理学中爱的理论], Master thesis, Ethics, Guizhou University, Guiyang, Guizhou, China 2008, 58 pp.}, abstract = {Since the issue of love has rarely been discussed in depth in the history of Chinese thought, but love is so important in the human community, this thesis takes the interpretation of Fromm's book >The Art of Loving< as the starting point to start the analysis of Fromm's theory on love, to study in depth the problems and relationships between Fromm's belief in love and free existence, as well as social integrity, and finally to reveal that Fromm's theory of >love< is based on >human beings< in a comprehensive manner, with the aim of saving humanity and helping people to achieve self-perfection. >Love< is a theory that revolves around >man< and aims at saving humanity and helping people to achieve self-improvement. In the course of this study, the author uses the method of philosophical analysis to bring the question of love to the forefront of philosophy, thereby contributing to the understanding and grasp of human nature, the recognition and commitment to a just and harmonious existence of a healthy society, and furthermore to the awareness and establishment of the principle of freedom in philosophy. With this in mind, the essay focuses on three questions: why people need love; what is true love; and how to obtain love in the true sense of the word. The essay is thus divided into three parts: an argument for love as an answer to the question of human existence; a definition of the concept of love and an analysis of the ideological elements and theoretical foundations of Fromm's interpretation of love; and a discussion of how to obtain true love from the theory and practice of love and the relationship between love and faith. These three sections are structured around Fromm's theory of the art of love, linking questions and answers, true love and humanity, and action and faith. The conclusion is that love is necessary for human existence and that humanity will be constantly sublimated and transcended in the theory and practice of love. She will eventually become a universal phenomenon in society, just as a rational faith will eventually become the essential basis of human understanding of the objective world. Such a conclusion reveals that Fromm, while presenting a seemingly flat categorization of the theory of love, actually constructs it as a progressively ascending order, an order that demonstrates the continuous sublimation of human nature in the education and practice of love, the continuous transcendence of the human condition.
