N2 - The lecture series The Causes of Human Aggression and Destructiveness presents the results of research published by Erich Fromm in his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973). In the seventh and final lecture, Fromm speaks of specific human kinds of destructiveness beyond defending the interest of survival and other vital interests. Human beings – besides many other competencies – are also able to experience ecstasis in a psycho-spiritual sense as well as in an extraordinary destructive way. Among the forms of ecstatic destructiveness sadism attempts total control and omnipotence while necrophilia is attracted to all that is dead, decaying, not alive and mechanical. The lecture is followed by Fromm's answers to questions from the audience. – The lecture was given by Erich Fromm on the invitation of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association at Kaufman Concert Hall.

N2 - The lecture series The Causes of Human Aggression and Destructiveness presents the results of research published by Erich Fromm in his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973). In the sixth lecture, Fromm analyzes the defensive or reactive aggression if vital interests are attacked that is common to animal and humans. Nevertheless, there is a decisive difference by what is experienced as vital interest since humans can also imagine a fictitious threat of vital interest. After a reference to dominance-submission patterns in animals, the vital interests of humans and their potential paranoid thinking, but also their reaction to coercion, injustice and frustration are explicated. Of particular interest is the specifically human hostility: not only to stay alive but to stay sane, which is the equivalent of being alive in the mental sense. This particularity holds true if the vital interest of staying sane is represented by and linked to taboos or idols or connected with a narcissistic idealization of oneself, of ideas or ofinstitutions. Finally, Fromm speaks of faked threats to his vital interests due to brainwashing.– The lecture was given by Erich Fromm on the invitation of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association at Kaufman Concert Hall.

N2 - The lecture series The Causes of Human Aggression and Destructiveness presents the results of research published by Erich Fromm in his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973). In the fifth lecture, Fromm first underlines his psychodynamic perspective: that not the behavior as such but what behavior (also unconsciously) motivates is the point of view to speak of human destructiveness. After criticizing Konrad Lorenz’s hydraulic theory of destructiveness Fromm speaks of humanism as an inhibiting factor to instrumental aggression and of compassion and empathy in the relationship of humans to animals. In addition to playful and instrumental aggression this lecture presents a third type of destructiveness which has no aggressive motivation: organizational destructiveness. Whether or not this type implies aggressive motivation is illustrated by the difference between international wars and civil wars. – The discussion concludes with audience questions. – The lecture was given by Erich Fromm on the invitation of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association at Kaufman Concert Hall.

Y1 - 1968 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Fromm, Erich T1 - The Causes of Human Aggression and Destructiveness, Lecture 4: Different Kinds of Aggression (Part 1) - Lecture (55') and discussion (23') given April 11, 1968, at the 92nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association, New York, in Kaufman Concert Hall. N2 - The lecture series The Causes of Human Aggression and Destructiveness presents the results of research published by Erich Fromm in his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973). In the first part of the fourth lecture Fromm discusses the connection between violence and environmental conditions by particularly drawing on Father Wasson's experiences with orphaned and often criminal children. For Fromm humans are not destructive because of their instinctual resp. animal inheritance; on the contrary, they are much more destructive than animals. Hence one has to search for the specific conditions of human existence to explain human destructiveness. According to the conditions one can differentiate between different kinds of human. A first type that is described in this lecture is playful destruction as a destruction without destructive intention – as for instance practiced in Zen Buddhism. A second type of destruction without necessarily having a destructive intention is instrumental destructiveness. In the last part of this lecture Fromm speaks from inhibitory factors to exercise instrumental destruction: Why don't people steal and kill if they want something? – The lecture was given by Erich Fromm on the invitation of the Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association at Kaufman Concert Hall.
