Erich Fromm: nota biográfica
(1976)
In his analysis of human socialization, Erich FROMM recognized both productive and unproductive tendencies in character development. These orientations, set forth in Man for Himself (New York: Rinehart and company, 1947), are reviewed in an assessment of FROMM's contribution to the concept of human responsibility. For FROMM, a productive orientation meant an attempt to realize one's creative, productive, and loving capacities; the various forms of unproductive orientation are described as follows: (1) receptive-satisfaction through the contributions of others (2) exploitative-progress marked by manipulative success with others; (3) hoarding-security achieved through miserly behavior in all life spheres; and (4) marketing-in which all persons and objects are given commodity value. Discussed are views of human behavior revealed as mysticism, narcissism, destructiveness, self-awareness, and body sensing.
