Man as a Contradiction. Philosophical Ideas of Erich Fromm

  • In his paper, the author argues that some of Fromm's ideas have the potential to answer bigger philosophical questions. Fromm's notion of the fundamental principle of individual relatedness to the world, in particular, allows us to understand the human nature much better. Fromm's way of seeing >man as full of contradictions< is provided with another argument. Sharing Fromm's interpretation of the human freedom, the author further discusses the problem of the original source of free will and makes the case that Fromm's understanding of love is productive for integrating contemporary theory of knowledge and philosophy of human beings. The author ultimately believes that the value of Fromm's theory lies, first of all, in the consistency of his humanistic vision.
