This study was to find out how the unity of will could be realized through sex in the Korean novels which were written in the special period of the 1920's through 1930's which were under Japanese colonial rule and modernization. Erich Fromm's philosophical speculation was a good criterion to clarify this kind of process. The right way to forward the truth of unity was the very matured love that Erich Fromm talked about. Matured love is to feel the unity in the circumstances the parties respect another's individuality. However, at that time, many people were exposed to poverty due to Japanese colonial policies. Under these circumstances, prostitution, one way of solution out of poverty, was mixed with the desire lay behind unconsciousness and this resulted in destruction in the end. Characters of Boknea in Gamja (Potato) and Chunho's wife in the novel of Sonagi (A sudden shower) were created at that time. Modern women and men could not be free from sex ideology deeply rooted in traditional Confucianism and predominance of men. Therefore, in the process of moving forward to the true unity, some people fell in love with in the novels. Some examples are that Yeonsil who fell in love in the novel of >Kim Yeonsil Jeon< and Young Chae who decided to commit suicide because of purity complex in the novel of >Mujeong<. Even, there appeared a character like Soonok in the novel who sanctify sex. However, they found their identity in the end and their actions were proved as transitional phenomenon taking place between the gap of unity and want by showing their will of true unity. Also, there is a character in the novel who agrees the process of unity based on respect for the other sex. Youngshin and Donghyuk in the novel of >Sangroksu< are those examples. It can be said that the love realized by them shows the truth of unity.
In recent years, the undead have been on the rise in films. Zombies and vampires are taking center stage and raking in money in record amounts. Resident Evil moved on to its fourth installment, 28 Days Later morphed into 28 Weeks Later, and 30 Days of Night is scoring some serious box office attention. George Romero, the king of the undead film, released his latest Land of the Dead, fourth in the Night of the Living Dead, Dawn of the Dead, and Day of the Dead series. There has even been an updated remake of Dawn of the Dead where the zombies transform from the shambling mounds of the past to the hyperdrive zombies of today. But what makes these films, so focused upon the living dead, so popular? Are we attracted to the undead because we, as Americans, are morphing into a society of necrophiles? Or are we already a society of necrophiles simply searching for an outlet? By examining the genre with an eye to Erich Fromm’s concept of necrophilia in a mechanized world, a new trend reveals itself. According to Fromm, as the world becomes more and more mechanized, humans become more and more disassociated from their selves, creating a move from biophilia to necrophilia. As we become inured to social ills and violence, it’s a small step from being distanced from life to being attracted to death. If the trend continues, the undead in films will be mere reflections of the undead in a mechanized world. Art imitates life. In the case of the undead in film, art imitates death. And who doesn’t love art?
This paper combines historical and biographical work on the Frankfurt School of critical theorists with a sociological approach to intellectual creativity outlined in Michael Farrell’s provocative book Collaborative Circles: Friendship Dynamics and Creative Work. Revisiting earlier research on the often unheralded role the psychoanalyst Erich Fromm played in the early years of the critical theory tradition, the paper reviews the theory of collaborative circles outlined by Farrell, applies this social science explanation of conflict and creativity to the Frankfurt School network of Horkheimer, Fromm, Adorno, Marcuse, Lowenthal etc. and suggests a new way of thinking about the history of this innovative and controversial group of social theorists and researchers. The paper concludes by suggesting revisions to the Farrell model of collaborative circles and compares and contrasts the strengths of the theory to the >scientific intellectual movements< approach outlined by Frickel and Gross.

Human being needs to be understood deeply by exploring fundamental characters. The fundamental characters have a set of dichotomized situation. Personally, in the process of thinking and behaving, people try to solve those dichotomized problems. The attempts can be seen in the form of character and orientation desired. These are ideology. The ideology determines attitudes and ideas undeliberately fight his human existence. The ideology correlates with conflict situations of human. This obligates free choices according to his fundamental attitudes. Erich Fromm solved the problem which is relevant to the ideology by making the concept of >to be<, in human potencies be confronted with concept of >to have< which signed by productive activity, autonomous, critical, and freedom.

O artigo apresenta uma análise, segundo o pensamento de Erich Fromm, da patologia da alienação psíquica inconsciente da sociedade industrial, que se caracteriza pelo comportamento social consumista e pelo sistema patriarcalista autoritário. Identificado o problema, busca examinar sua visão humanista da liberdade social, que pretende ser uma necessidade ética urgente ante as determinações socioeconômicas.

This article will briefly introduce the concept of authoritarian personality as its team of authors T. W. Adorno, E. Frenkel-Brunswik, D. J. Levinson and R. N. Sanford, presented it, describe the contemporary influence of the concept and focus on possible implications for the study of non-democratic regimes. The reader will also learn about findings of political psychology and reflections about the concept of authoritarianism, including the approaches of S. Freud, E. Fromm, A. Maslow and others. The following text is based on the theoretical conclusions of political psychology, which by applying its scholarly perspective can uncover some contexts of the study of non-democratic regimes.
Dreams are associated with those issues of our waking life which preoccupy us emotionally. According to our Daseinsanalytic view, however, the issue that concerns us while dreaming is actually not the concrete worrying matter itself, but its existential dimension. This view is based on Martin Heidegger’s concept of human being as that being to which its own being is an issue. It means that all feeling and understanding dealing with concrete issues concurrently refer to fundamental issues of our existence. Dreaming though, we are focused entirely on the fundamental aspects. Dreams show the very individual and specific struggle of the dreamer with certain conditions of human life, which he or she is unable or unwilling to accept because they seem too difficult to endure. I want to demonstrate this method of interpretation on a dream of a depressive patient. The example illustrates that the concerns of dreaming are rooted in and refer to an existential dilemma that is hidden in the concrete difficulties of waking life and represented in the concrete dream events. In addition, it gives us the opportunity to inquire into the specificity of the fundamental dilemma of a personality with a >depressive view< of the world.
