This thesis is a statement about a series of paintings based on an invented dollhouse object that conveys the artist’s identity and placement in the world. Through this essay, the artist represents the home as a space that fosters the recovery and rebirth of invisible energy, >ki< and examines ideas of transience, interconnection, and rebirth in the mysterious flow of >ki< in the home. Also the artist will explain her own view about being an artist, the methodologies and specific techniques of her paintings, and her artistic direction for the future.
Erziehungserfahrung, politische Einstellung und Autoritarismus – Ergebnisse der >Mitte<-Studien<
(2012)
Am Anfang standen die Studien zu Autorität und Familie des Frankfurter Instituts für Sozialforschung. In diesen wurde zum ersten Mal auf empirischer Grundlage der Zusammenhang von Sozialisation und antidemokratischer Einstellung untersucht. Der Befund wurde begriffsprägend und gab sowohl der noch in Deutschland durchgeführten wie auch der im Exil in Angriff genommenen Studie den Namen >The Authoritarian Personality< (vgl. Adorno et al. 1950), welche wiederum auf den weniger bekannten, aber richtungsweisenden Studien >Autorität und Familie< aufbaute (vgl. Horkheimer, Fromm & Marcuse 1936). Die Autoren kamen in ihren Studien zu dem Ergebnis, dass die antidemokratische Einstellung in Deutschland weit verbreitet und in allen politischen Lagern anzutreffen war. Dieser Befund wurde mit einer Erklärung verbunden, die bis heute diskutiert wird: dem Konzept des autoritären Charakters. Dazu die beiden Exponenten der Kritischen Theorie, Theodor W. Adorno und Max Horkheimer, nach ihrer Rückkehr aus dem Exil: >Diese Autoritätsgebundenheit bedeutet ... die bedingungslose Anerkennung dessen, was ist und Macht hat, und den irrationalen Nachdruck auf konventionelle Werte ... und entsprechend auf konventionelles, unkritisches Verhalten. ... man verhält sich unterwürfig zu den idealisierten moralischen Autoritäten der Gruppe ..., steht aber zugleich auf dem Sprung, den, der nicht dazugehört, ... zu verdammen.< Der autoritäre Charakter zeichne sich durch >Anerkennung jeglicher gegebener Ordnung<, verbunden >mit einer Schwäche des Ichs< aus. Er beurteile die Welt nach >zweigeteilten Klischees und ist geneigt, die unveränderliche Natur oder gar okkulte Mächte für alles Übel verantwortlich zu machen.< (Horkheimer/Adorno 1952, S. 368) Adorno und Horkheimer konstatieren den >unbewußten Wunsch nach Zerstörung<, den sich der autoritäre Charakter selbst nicht eingestehe, aber >in andere hineinsieht< und ihn dann als Verfolgung des Fremden, Abweichenden ausleben kann. >Immerzu phantasiert er von verbotenen und schlimmen Dingen, die in der Welt vorgehen, besonders auch von sexuellen Ausschweifungen<. Diese >projektive Identifizierung< sei die Kehrseite der >auffälligen Beziehungslosigkeit, der Flachheit ihres Empfindens, auch den ihnen angeblich nächsten Menschen gegenüber< (ebd., S. 369).

Les manifestations étudiantes du printemps 2012 ont à tout jamais marqué notre inconscient collectif et colorant encore aujourd’hui notre paysage médiatique. Nous avons été soit ébranlés, soit choqués, emballés ou inspirés par toute cette agitation. Cette crise sociale historique a ravivé chez plusieurs des préoccupations, des craintes ou encore de l’espoir et de l’exaltation. Au lendemain du dépôt du projet de loi 78, j’ai tenté de faire le point sur mon rôle d’éducateur et, plus largement, sur mes valeurs éducatives. […]
Одно из глубинных потребностей человека, отмеченное Фроммом, – это стремление к уподоблению, поиск объекта поклонения. Индивид, заброшенный в мир таинственных вещей и явлений, просто не в состоянии самостоятельно осознать назначение и смысл окружающего бытия. Он нуждается в системе ориентации, которая дала бы ему возможность отождествлять себя с неким признанным образцом.
Carlos Jimenez’s >House and Studio< was self-designed to fully function as both a home and workplace. Since its establishment in 1983, the installation has been continuously updated for almost 30 years solely under the guidance of the owner’s life occurrences and routine needs. The additions and alterations succeeding the building’s erection were executed to incorporate small yet symbolic fragments of the resident’s memories and life episodes. The particularity of the >House and Studio< can be compared with other residential remodeling and expansion projects in regards to certain key aspects. These means of comparison include, but are not limited to, building strictly under the direction of a master plan of development vs. allowing natural adaptations that comply with the resident’s needs, rapid development vs. gradual advancement, the ornamenting by exposing showy features vs. the enhancing by addition of modest natural components, sustainability vs. sustenance, systematic room divisions vs. ambiguous spatial organization, possession as a materialized asset vs. preservation as a recollection of memories, and finally the recognition as one example of signature architecture vs. the witnessing of a maturing animated shelter. The given propositions can be further explained with the comprehension of Erich Fromm’s theory of the >Having< mode and >Being< mode, two mechanisms that categorize the essence of human life. The >Having< mode is described by the human greed for wealth, power, and influence, whereas the >Being< mode is comprised of compassion, joy, and productivity. Fromm’s thesis applies to the general sense of human life, but the ideas can be narrowed to accommodate the architectural standpoint. In architecture, the >Having< mode can be translated to be the conspicuous form-oriented and self-contained object. The ‘Being’ mode, on the other hand, is transposed as the more natural form, incorporating the needs of the owner before commercialization. The growth of Jimenez’s >House and Studio< can be perceived as an architectural suggestion to the overcoming of human indifference caused by fixation on the >Having< mode.
본 논문은 인간의 성숙에 관한 기독교상담학적 연구로서, 정신분석 및 인본주의 심리학적 관점을 중심으로 살펴보았다. 연구자는 긍정심리학의 태동 이전부터 자기실현적 입장을 지닌 상담심리학 분야의 연구자들은 성숙한 인간의 특성을 밝히기 위해 노력해왔음을 밝혔다. 연구자는 프로이트가 성숙한 인간상으로서의 욕망의 절제를 설명하고 있는 성격의 삼원구조이론(tripartite theory of personality), 프롬의 성숙한 인간상으로서의 >생산적 인간(productive person)< 에릭슨의 인간의 근원적 힘으로서의 >덕(virtue)<을 살펴보았다. 그 후에 인본주의 심리학적 관점에서 올포트(G. Allport)의 건강한 성격으로서의 >성숙한 인격(mature person)<, 매슬로우(A. Maslow)의 성숙한 인간으로서의 >자기실현적 인간(self-actualizing person)<에 관해 살펴보았다. 그 후에 기독교상담적 측면에서 성숙에 대한 성서적 관점, 긍정적인 자기변화의 성숙을 위한 >희망(hope)<에 대해 살펴보았다. 특히 우리는 성숙에 관한 심리학을 기독교 전통에서 고찰하면서 성숙의 의미가 성서적 전통에 깊이 뿌리내리고 있음을 확인하였으며, 개인의 성숙을 위해 지속적으로 신앙 안에서 돌보는 자와의 관계 안에서 희망함이 절대적으로 필요하다는 점을 지적하였다. 연구자는 본 논문을 마무리 하면서, 인간의 성숙에 관한 일반상담심리학적 연구의 필요성을 제기하고 동시에 기독교상담학적 관점에서 평가하였다. 특히 기독교상담자들은 지속적이고 긍정적인 변화는 성령의 능력과 인도를 통하여 온다는 것을 인식하기에 기독교상담학적 관점에서 앞으로 다루어야 과제의 필요성을 제시하였다.

Идеи Эриха Фромма о педагогическои антропологии [Erich Fromm’s Ideas on Educational Anthropology]
(2012)
В своем творчестве Фромм придавал большое значение проблемам педагогической антропологии. Он поставил перед философией задачу формирования нового Человека, построившего общество, основанное на принципах гуманизма и свободы. Поставленную задачу может выполнить гуманная педагогика, которая способна гуманизировать индивидуальный, внутренний мир человека, его представления о добре и зле, расширить его идеалы, сделать его более совершенным и самодостаточным во благо себя и других людей.
The collapse of authorities in society has been accompanied by the disappearance of the >master-student< relation, so significant for the development of young scientists. This paper presents the reasons behind this situation as well as its consequences. The discussion of the causes is based on Erich. Fromm’s theory of authority. The result of the conducted analysis is as follows: excessive institutionalization of how scientific research is carried out does not allow real scientific authorities to function effectively at universities – they are replaced with impersonal authority which scientific institution is.
Despite readily available facts and figures regarding human-caused natural degradation, a large portion of the public still refuses to believe that the environment is suffering because of our actions. This refusal to believe, paired with a lack of environmental motivation, has become so evident that it recently attracted the attention of scientists and psychologists attempting to account for it from various perspectives. The disbelief in, for instance, climate change, is hard to explain without referring to a mechanism best described as >environmental denial<. Analysis shows that people may be prone to deny anthropogenic environmental damage because their personal identity, as well as the quest for meaning in their lives, depends upon a consumerist modus vivendi. Consciously or unconsciously faced with the dilemma of either accepting that this lifestyle endangers the life of the planet (as well as their and their children’s well-being), and thus accepting its consequences and the responsibility for change, or refusing to believe that the environmental degradation is occurring in the first place, they choose the latter option. This choice is also motivated by the lack of sound alternatives around which new, >greener< identities could be built. Thus any attempt at changing public opinion regarding anthropogenic environmental degradation, as well as any strategy that advocates putting an abrupt end to our environmentally damaging practices, is not likely to be successful if it neglects to provide new footing for identity building.
Человек не является подобием машины, которая обладает набором разных свойств и характеристик. В бытии человека обнаруживаются экзистенциальные противоречия. Ведь он рождается в природе, а живет в обществе. Человек имеет инстинкты, но располагает и сознанием. Он животное и неживотное. Потомок Адама – природное создание, но он имеет и божественную природу. Человек, по определению Э. Фромма, едва ли не самое эксцентричное создание универсума.
In seinen Texten geht Fromm verschiedensten Fragen und Problemen auf den Grund: Er fragt etwa nach dem Zusammenhang zwischen dem Überfluss, in dem unsere Gesellschaft lebt, und dem Gefühl des Einzelnen, überflüssig zu sein ... oder er beschreibt das 'Fiasko der Religion' ... Trotz komplexer Fragestellungen machen die Texte das Buch zu einem kurzweiligen und interessanten Lesevergnügen. Dass auf die Frage 'Wer ist der Mensch? nur eine Annäherung und keine eindeutige Antwort möglich ist, wird man dabei verschmerzen. [Quelle: Buecher.de]
Bachelor thesis interprets Erich Fromm’s view of man. A human being is determined by his nature. He has obtained and also inherited attributes. Everybody has his own character which is continuously formed by society which a human being lives in. Love is very important for a human. But it is hard to learn it, as we can see in present-day society and also in Fromm’s society at that time. This thesis also deals with Fromm’s differentiation of two modes of human being – mode to have, mode to be. Next chapter deals with destructiveness, as the opposite of love. Human is a creature who likes killing and enjoys his aggression. The freedom is also the main conception of Fromm’s thoughts. It causes a man´s powerlessness and fear. When a human being doesn’t have freedom then he feels relief and inner order. The last chapter deals with the suggestion of new society and new man by Erich Fromm. All is based on the mode to be which means a productive life.
Beck (1995) has outlined an influential social theory in which the role of modern risks has been highlighted. Modern societies are characterized as qualitatively distinct from premodern societies due to the self-generated new risks of annihilatory potential. Jonas (1979) has proposed an approach highlighting fear as a heuristic guideline for approaching further scientific research and technological development. According to this framework, imagining annihilatory risks inherent in a particular technology and research should make us forego the potential benefits of this technology, as the potential costs are too high. Mittelstraß (1992) argues exactly the opposite and claims that not less but more research and technological progress is necessary in order to enhance the survival chances of the human species. In order to reduce the possibility of deliberate action, which may trigger the annihilation of the human species, however, Mittelstraß (1992) calls for the development of a strong ethos of responsibility. The question, though, remains on what kind of rationale this ethos of individual responsibility may be grounded? It is suggested in this paper that Fromm (1947) provided the answer to the question of how such an ethos may be created and sustained.
In his paper, the author considers >the humans’ love of themselves, of their perfection and self-preservation.< He shares Al-Ghazali’s postulate >humans love the eternity of their being< and highlights the presence of this idea in the doctrine of Christianity, in the conceptions of Ludwig Feuerbach (1804–1872) and Erich Fromm (1900–1980).
Dr. Pankiewicz’s paper focuses on the depiction of Erich Fromm’s character and views. The subject of the author's analysis is the work of Fromm entitled >War in Man< (the author is the initiator of the Polish edition of this book). The paper raises both the issues of the presented book, as well as Fromm's views, which can be found in reading the paper. Dr. Pankiewicz points out that >War in Man< is a very important voice of warning against nuclear threat, while pointing to the paradoxical fact that the main source of danger to humanity is currently man himself - that the element of self-destruction lies within us. The author introduces to the reader the universal issues of life and death, so characteristic for Fromm's thought, citing pessimistic thoughts about the dimensions of human destructiveness. And although (as stated by the author himself) the take on the paper's issues is not optimistic, the guide and popularization of Fromm's reflections on the global nuclear threat is nowadays one of the most current issues. The text help us to better understand what was happening and is still happening before our eyes: It approximates the structure of modern man’s nature and the problems of interdependence of social and psychological factors, explains the essence of human aggressive behaviour, indicating the sources of these behav-iours.
The text considers the problem of Albert Schweitzer's fight to stop the development of nuclear weapons, in view of the problem of modern international terrorism. Special services in many countries for some time gains information about the efforts of various terrorist organizations to obtain nuclear weapons (or components and knowledge needed to produce it). To determine the risk there was establish a term: 'nuclear terrorism', and many actions (legal and operational) are taken in order to prevent this phenomenon. Currently no one questions the clear negativity of nuclear terrorism, so it's worth to think about its structure and causes – which arise from human destructiveness. The element of self-destruction, present in human nature manifested itself particularly strongly with the invention of weapon with such great power of destruction, which is a nuclear weapon. Albert Schweitzer noticed an element of self-destruction, calling it 'an inhuman way of thinking' and actively engaged in a worldwide campaign against nuclear armament. The main reason which cause the Doctor of Lambaréné to take this activity, was to draw the attention of world public opinion on the negative effects of nuclear test-explosions. However, during the exploration of issues (in which he was supported by eminent specialists in the field of nuclear physics, with Albert Einstein headed), Schweitzer discovered a much more serious danger threatening all of humanity. This text is an attempt to answer the question about the topicality of peace appeals made by him in the 50's and 60's. The author reminds the risks associated with the development of nuclear weapons and technology in Schweitzer's times and at the present time, trying to outline the basic differences between them.

Erich Fromm in his short book >The Art of Loving< presents love as an attitude and feeling that can be learned. Love in Fromm's terms is beyond the scope of interest sexologists, is an attitude combining the ability to learn a second, respect for him and concern for his welfare. Love is not a recipe for a happy sex life but the essence of the attitude in which it is a centre place for the most subtle and for healthy human development kind of relationship. There is no health without mental health and full of expression capabilities inherent in the unit without the feeling of love. It is an expression of the full development of personality.

Erich Fromm (1900 – 1980)
(2012)
The aim of my paper is to introduce individual theories of aggression, which are divided according to the factors having influence on human aggressive behaviour and acting. Basically, the literature is chosen from the works of Erich Fromm, Sigmund Freud and Konrad Lorenz. This choice enabled to divide the issue into three basic areas, that is: biological, psychological and philosophical ones. All three areas are elaborated further by the issue of the child aggression origin, in subchapters. The impact of aggression on society is also emphasized by Hannah Arendt, who is trying to specify roots of social aggression, and is looking for individual and social responsibility for aggression. The theory, derived from those researches plus from subsequent modern psychological concept, attempts to reveal causes of aggression. Easier understanding of aggression causes would enable to influence or eliminate factors causing/strengthening aggression, either caused by society or by ourselves. Such understanding is the aim of all scientists, who sacrificed their lives to research of aggression, a phenomenon so dangerous for human beings.
In 1937 Theodor Adorno, in a letter to Erich Fromm, described women as exemplars of commodity fetishism, >agents of the commodity in society<. Adorno wanted Fromm to join him in a study of the invidious psycho-social effects of this phenomenon. Fromm did not respond to this invitation, possibly because his own views on women were diametrically opposed to Adorno’s. To Fromm, women were not agents of capitalist corruption but avatars of altruism, their nurturing qualities providing models for socialist morality. These polarized images of women have their roots in Enlightenment gender theory. This essay outlines the myths of Woman promulgated by Enlightenment intellectuals, in particular the Janus-faced doctrine of ‘female influence’ that dominated eighteenth-century writings on women, which portrayed them simultaneously as acquisitive hedonists and as paragons of self-sacrificial benevolence.
Drawing upon the thought of Eric Fromm, this paper argues that efforts to understand and counter behaviour that causes difficulties in education should begin in a critical and reflective engagement with both the conditions of human freedom and the character of educational institutions and society as a whole. Fromm’s critique of dominating ideas about good mental health within capitalistic societies is examined in relation to disablement and attention-deficient hyperactivity disorder. A study of a sixth-form college in the south of England elucidates connections between Fromm’s insights into social psychology and disablement as a process of oppression.
Dalam Novel Cewek Matre karya Alberthiene Endah, Lola sebagai tokoh utama memiliki perilaku hedonis yang juga dimiliki oleh sebagian besar masyarakat metropolitan di Indonesia. Perilaku ini membuat kehidupan Lola yang awalnya berjalan lancar tanpa masalah berarti menjadi penuh konflik yang berkepanjangan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengungkapkan (1) Bagaimanakah bentuk perilaku hedonis yang dilakukan oleh tokoh Lola dalam novel >Cewek Matre< karya Alberthiene Endah? (2) Bagaimana latar belakang timbulnya perilaku hedonis pada diri Lola dalam novel >Cewek Matre< karya Alberthiene Endah? (3) Bagaimanakah dampak perilaku hedonis yang dilakukan oleh tokoh Lola terhadap lingkungan sekitarnya dalam novel >Cewek Matre< karya Alberthiene Endah? berdasarkan teori psikologi humanistik Erich Fromm. Pendekatan yang digunakan pada penelitian ini adalah pendekatan sosiologi sastra, sedangkan teknik analisis data yang digunakan adalah teknik analisis isi atau content analysis dengan menggunakan metode tafsir sastra atau hermeneutik. Hasil penelitian mengungkapkan bahwa tokoh Lola memiliki perilaku hedonis yang berupa gemar menghambur-hamburkan uang, membeli barang-barang mewah, dan menjadi cewek matre. Perilaku hedonis ini bukanlah perilaku bawaan lahir Lola, melainkan bentukan dari lingkungan sosial Lola yang menstimulus Lola untuk memiliki perilaku hedonis.
The bachelor´s thesis describes the philosophy of three important philosophers Erich Fromm, Victor Emanuel Frankl and Albert Camus. The work is divided into four chapters, in each of them I always deal with one specific problem from the point of view of all these philosophers. At the end of each chapter there is some conclusion and a summary of these thoughts as well as findings of similar characters of their philosophy. The first chapter is devoted to the problem of authentic way of the human existence. There are presented the basic features of Frankl´s, Fromm´s and Camus´ philosophy. The second chapter deals with the topic of freedom, primarily, whether the absolute freedom possible is or is not. The following chapter talks about the issue of human society and its impact on a human. The last chapter describes the problem of death and suicide. Whether these authors accept death as the end of the human life or whether they accept suicide as the solution of the human life. In conclusion, I tried to summarize the similar points of philosophy of these authors.
Fromm's approach to mental health is based on the neurophysiology principle that the brain has an innate tendency to preserve life. This principle implies a basic condition of psychic health: the concomitant of the process of life itself respect for life, that of others as one's own. According to Fromm, this universal criterion of mental health, inextricably linked to ethical issues, gives a satisfactory solution to the problem of human existence.
Сажетак. Интерпретација тумачења људског карактера Ериха Фрома. Анализа индивидуалног и друштвеног карактера, као и односа религије и карактера, симбиотичког одношења, повучености-деструктивности и љубави као односа социјализације. Истицање важности продуктивне и непродуктивне оријентације у односима асимилације. Осврт на типове непродуктивног карактера: прималачки, израбљивачки, згрталачки и тржишни карактер, као и ауторитарно садомазохистички и револуционарни карактер. Разматрање величине и значаја Фромове мисли са социолошког становишта: друштвени карактер за Фрома има етички и хеуристички значај. Људске страсти су укорењене у карактеру и представљају начин да се да смисао постојању, да се одговори на људску егзистенцијалну ситуацију. За Фрома, најважнији циљ друштава би требало да буде потпуни развитак човека.
Tytuł rozdziału zaczerpnięty został z tekstu Hansa Jurgena Schultza ukazują-cego pięć jego zdaniem kluczowych w kontekście walki o godność człowieka i ludzkości postaci dwudziestego wieku. Są to Martin Luther King, Dietrich Bon-hoeffer, Reinhold Schneider, Albert Schweitzer i Erich Fromm. Dwóch ostatnich, mimo tak odmiennych biografii i dziedzictwa rodzinnego połączyło szczególnie dobitnie wyrażanie szacunku dla pełnego rozwoju wszelkich form życia. Erich Fromm wskazywał że człowiek może i powinien znaleźć poprzez własne nieza-leżne i krytyczne myślenie o sobie, wolne od manipulacji i interesów politycz-nych, czy ograniczeń ekonomicznych ideał istoty biofilnej. Erich Fromm opisy-wał biofilność jako charakterologiczną podstawę swej analitycznej psychologii społecznej. Biofilność powoduje że człowiek jest przyciągany do innych istot żywych i potrzebuje kontaktu z naturą, aby być zdrowym, aby znaleźć sens swo-jego życia i realizować się w nim. Albert Schweitzer odnalazł kontakt z naturą w dżungli w Gabonie i w tym szczególnym odległym od cywilizacji miejscu reali-zował w praktyce idee szacunku dla życia. Jego biofilność bardziej niż w przy-padku Fromma, wyrażała się czynem. Dla obu filozofów życie jest podstawą ludzkiej egzystencji i gwarantem obecności najwyższych wartości kulturowych. Można ich traktować jak partyzantów humanistyki chociażby dlatego, że podob-ni są do oddanych swej sprawie bojowników na rzecz szlachetnego człowieczeń-stwa. Fromm zwrócił uwagę, że nie starczy życie zasobne, bogate, wolne od głodu, bez wewnętrznego rozwoju człowieka. Schweitzer z przekonaniem, że każdy ma swe własne Lamaberene, zwracał uwagę na praktyczne kształtowanie człowieka etycznego. Obaj ukazali że różne drogi prowadzą do wspólnego celu, odmienne światopoglądy wskazać mogą wspólny cel jakim jest poszanowanie życia.
In a 2002 article that appeared in El País, the Spanish writer Javier Cercas allies himself with other scholars who have argued that during the time of its publication he Family of Pascual Duarte (1942) by Camilo José Cela, served as an apologia for Franco’s dictatorship. Following the ideas articulated by Erich Fromm in Escape from Freedom (1941) about fascism as a reaction against the effects of individual isolation in the modern era, I relate Cerca’s political interpretation of the Family of Pascual Duarte with existential and psychological readings of the novel. I argue that the moral decline of Pascual Duarte is the result of his inability to live up to the existential burden of freedom in the seemingly uncaring, anarchical and meaningless universe associated, from the Nationalist perspective, with the political and social programs of the Second Republic. While Pascual tries to elude this responsibility through various mechanisms of escape, primarily through practices of submission and domination, the lack of any legitimate authority to submit to or of any sphere in which he can legitimately assert his own authority, leads Pascual to unwittingly present his meaningless and immoral life as a case for the reassertion of a dictatorial regime.
This paper discusses the notion of mental health from the perspective of the social context in which such a notion has to exist, and has to be fostered or otherwise, by that key social activity in a democracy that is education. In particular, it considers this topic by way of reviewing a thoroughgoing analysis of ‘society and sanity’ presented over a half century ago by Erich Fromm in his >The Sane Society<. The links to and an implications for a PCP understanding of mental health in the light of the ideas of Fromm and some later thinkers are discussed.
Auf dem Umschlag dieses Buches begrüßt uns Diogenes von Sinope, der nichts haben will, nicht einmal von Alexander dem Großen. Er ist freilich eine Ausnahme. Die meisten Menschen haben gern, und deshalb mangelt es auch nicht an Gründen und Anlässen, sich über das Haben zu äußern. In einer höchst unterhaltsamen Reise durch die Sinnwelten des Habens eröffnet Harald Weinrich, der Grandseigneur der europäischen Sprachwissenschaft, verblüffende Einsichten in unseren Gebrauch des Wörtchens Haben – und unser Haben-Denken, das sich darin offenbart.
We are presently at a point of unique circumstantial convergence where recession, an increased emphasis on business ethics, and marketer’s reluctance to accept shifting social agendas have combined to identify the need for a new approach to marketing. Using concepts from the human resources, marketing and psychology literatures, and especially Erich Fromm’s ideas concerning economic character, this paper posits that marketers – as a professional community – are driven to promote consumerist outcomes; victims of an automaton amalgam of calling and character. The analysis suggests the vulnerability of both marketer and consumer are mutually reinforcing and that we need, somehow, to break this damaging cycle of dependence. We know little, however, about how marketers think and feel about their discipline, so this paper also promotes an agenda for marketer behaviour research, as a countervailing balance to a currently disproportionate focus on the consumer.
In all ages, whatever social economy and class structure change, happiness is always the pursuit goal of people from vary historical ages. Based on the social and historical reality, the philosophers have given a lot of judgments about happiness, and happiness problem is always a major task in ethnics study. However, the ideologists a tall times and in all countries have vary opinions about happiness unable to decide which is right. So, for the people in modern society it has important meaning to card happiness theory and discuss its signification and essence. Firstly this paper carded the tradition of Chinese happiness theory. In the view of history, Chinese ideologists’ viewpoints of happiness can be divided into two parts, deontology and utilitarianism. Although these two parts have different contestations respectively, they also have an accordant viewpoint at happiness realization, that is, to achieve happiness by self-improvement.– Then this paper carded tradition of western happiness theory to classify it into two kinds, hedonistic eudemonism and consummate eudemonism. The hedonistic considered that happiness was based on people’s feeling. They thought feeling pleasure was happiness with some representatives such as Locke, Bentham, Muller, Feuerbach etc. However the consummate was firstly mentioned by Aristotle. It considered that perfection was happiness with some other representatives such as Paulsen, Fromm etc.– The third part of paper summarized Marxist eudemonism including main structure, inscapes, social historical conditions, evolution rules and characters etc. Marxist eudemonism is based on criticism and self-reflection on hedonistic and consummate. Itis scientific to lead contemporary people to correctly realize and achieve happiness.– The last part of paper tried to give a contemporary interpretation on happiness. It considered that contemporary happiness mainly embodied in the people’s livelihood. After clarifying meanings of people’s livelihood and its problem, this paper discussed essence of people’s livelihood happiness, gave an opinion that the government must be mainly responsible for people’s livelihood happiness, and finally proposed a method to achieve happiness, that is, to establish a people oriented concept of happiness.
