N2 - The aim of this paper is to examine post-truth politics using Erich Fromm’s theory of narcissism and showing a route towards a sane society in Fromm’s sense. Post-truth situations are generated by negative synergistic effects between narcissistic psychological tendencies and social media. Both of them have so-called filter bubble effects which segregate people from inner and outer reality. The process of integrating an unknown experience or reality into the self produces a new experience. That is a definition of Fromm’s love and the way to overcome narcissism.

N2 - Erich Fromm has been one of the most influential social theorists in Japanese social sciences, especially in sociology and social psychology and the adoption of his theory reflects the socio-cultural structure of post-war Japan and its historical changes. In this paper, I will examine Fromm's social theory in relation to Japan's post-war swift rehabilitation and rapid economic growth and discuss the remarkable role that it played by the 1970s in critical analysis of Japanese society. I will discuss Fromm's popularity and influence in Japan, examining its theoretical features from the view point of Critical Theory, since in Japan Fromm's theory is considered to have its roots not only in American sociology and social psychology but also in German Critical Theory (the Frankfurt School). As a result of Japan's economic success and status as an affluent consumption society, however, postmodern relativism and cynicism prevailed in the world of thought through 1980s and 1990s and consequently Fromm was forgotten. This story of Fromm in Japan is not over, however, for we will discuss how neo-liberal reforms are breaking the fetters of an outdated Japanese-style management regime and giving people the freedom for self-realization. This >pseudo positive freedom<, of course, creates again the social pathologies of escapes from freedom Fromm discussed in 1940s. Fromm's normative anthropology of human freedom is thus recovering its popularity and has a great theoretical potential for critiquing today's neo-liberal reforms.

This article aims at the reconstruction of his thought about modernity (Moderne). Marcuse and other Frankfurters criticized the ethical trend which his social theory assumes. But in Fromm's view criticizing the depressing structure of modernity and constructing the ethics of reason can never be separated. Why did he hold on the hope for reason? In this paper we try to answer this question throwing light on the philosophical relationship between reason and nature in Fromm's thought which is rooted in Spinozism. Y1 - 1997 ER -
