N2 - Erich Fromm's book The Heart of Man (1964) contains three chapters dealing with the origins of human aggression and destructiveness. The three-part lecture series >The Psychological Roots of War and Destruction< was given by Fromm at the invitation of the New York Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association in April 1963. All three lectures are based on the manuscript for the book The Heart of Man. After some more reflections on the topic of the second lecture, the necrophilous destructiveness, Fromm presents in the third lecture his concept of narcissism and particularly of group narcissism. A special focus is on the pathology of narcissism: If groups or individuals get wounded in their narcissism the reaction is depression or rage which then is expressed in violence and furious destructiveness. – The lecture (60’) is followed by Fromm's answers (20’) to questions from the audience.

N2 - Erich Fromm's book The Heart of Man (1964) contains three chapters dealing with the origins of human aggression and destructiveness. The three-part lecture series >The Psychological Roots of War and Destruction< that Fromm gave at the invitation of the New York Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association in April 1963, are based on the manuscript for the book The Heart of Man. The second lecture introduces in Fromm’s concept of necrophilia – a specific type of human destructiveness that is attracted by destruction and by all that is not alive. He presents traits of a necrophilous person and of a machine minded culture and contrasts necrophilia with biophilia, the love of life. Finally, he discusses the difference between necrophilia and Freud's concept of the death instinct. – In his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973) Fromm analyzes necrophilia in detail and in a more differentiated way. – The lecture (57’) is followed by Fromm's answers (15’) to questions from the audience.

Lecture (48') and discussion (17') given April 4, 1963, at the 92nd Street Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association, New York. - Broadcast: WBAI, 20 October, 1963. N2 - Erich Fromm's book The Heart of Man (1964) contains three chapters dealing with the origins of human aggression and destructiveness. The three-part lecture series >The Psychological Roots of War and Destruction< Fromm gave at the invitation of the New York Young Men's and Young Women's Hebrew Association in April 1963. The lectures are based on the manuscript for the book The Heart of Man. Part 1 addresses two fundamentally different views of human nature: whether humans are by nature sheep or wolves—in other words, whether humans have an innate type of aggression that seeks to destroy. Fromm distinguishes between five types of human destructiveness. In the first part, he discusses >playful aggression,< >reactive aggression,< and >compensatory hostility.< – In his book The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness (1973) Fromm revisits the question, based on empirical findings, and concludes that there are three types of destructiveness that can only be found in humans: sadistic cruelty, narcissistic violence, and necrophilic destructiveness. The lecture (48’) is followed by Fromm's answers (17’) to questions from the audience. Y1 - 1963 ER - TY - GEN A1 - Fromm, Erich T1 - Beyond the Chains of Illusion.
