TY - JOUR A1 - Vogt, Norbert T1 - Daseinsanalytische Anmerkungen zu Erich Fromm. Psychoanalyse und Zen-Buddhismus JF - Daseinsanalyse, Basel (Karger) Vol. 5 (No. 3, 1988), pp. 175. N2 - Erich FROMM's ideas of social psychology and social philosophy (1965) are utilized to update Karl Marx's social philosophy. Marxist philosophy is seen as a product of the nineteenth century that cannot correspond in full measure to modern reality and knowledge. For instance, historical materialism treats the question of why and how the economic situation makes people act in a certain way and not otherwise as a stated fact of history, instead of providing a logical explanation. In contrast, FROMM explains this relation scientifically, via the concept of >social character<. It is felt that FROMM and neo-Freudianism may provide the missing link between economic forces and ideas. A move toward replacing a class ideology with a type of populist ideology that would involve the common interests of humankind is also offered. This eco-ideology is forming as the root interests of people in developed countries begin to coincide, not with the interests of individual classes, as in the past, but with the interests of all the basic strata of society.
