The humanism of Erich Fromm, M.A. thesis, University of Alberta, Edmonton 1975, 150 pp. [Typescript]
(1975)
Presents a criticism of Freud's ahistorical, asocial, mechanistic, and materialistic view of mankind. In place of Freud's absolutistic and pessimistic confirmation of the destructive status quo by the death instinct, man's dynamic character is reinterpreted relativistically into theories of human progress based largely on Freud's theorizing.
