The Weight of Freedom and the Lightness of Escape – Reading >Escape from Freedom< [自由之重与逃避之轻——读《逃避自由》]

  • 获得自由之后,人们开始逃避自由。社会心理学家弗洛姆认为,人们之所以逃避自由,是为了逃避始发纽带断裂后个人出现的孤独和无能为力感。逃避机制可以分为权威主义、破坏欲和机械趋同三种,而纳粹主义是逃避自由行为和后果的集中体现。笔者进一步总结,逃避成为一种经常性倾向,同人们对风险的恐惧有关。要想跳脱逃避自由的恶性循环,必须树立完整全面的人格,追求自发的积极自由。
  • After gaining their freedom, people start to run away from it. According to the social psychologist Fromm, people escape from freedom in order to escape the sense of isolation and powerlessness that occurs in the individual when the bond that started it all breaks down. Escape mechanisms can be divided into three categories: authoritarianism, destructive desire and mechanical conformism, and Nazism is a concentrated manifestation of freedom-avoiding behavior and its consequences. The author further concludes that escapism is a recurrent tendency, linked to a fear of risk. In order to break out of the vicious circle of freedom avoidance, it is necessary to develop an integrated and holistic personality and to pursue spontaneous positive freedom.
