>The greater the satisfaction, the greater the disillusionment<. Interview with Luciano Aleotti
(1975)
With the aid of Marx, Erich FROMM has attempted a revision of Freud's view on religion in what he believes to be a more practically realistic and theoretically satisfying direction. His general approach to religion is considered first, then his more detailed socio-psychological interpretations of the idea of God in the Old Testament, the dogma of Christ in early Christian thought and the understanding of salvation in Reformation Protestantism. The strengths and weaknesses in his position are identified and the conclusion is drawn that, though it is an advance on Freud's position at several points, on the whole it is much less profound.

The attempt at establishing the interrelationship between character, society and the politics of liberation is what unites the efforts of these 3 Freudian theorists. Wilhelm Reich's focus was on character. His search for a >prophylaxis of neurosis< through character analysis led him into sociology and the problem of social change through radical political activity. Erich FROMM addressed the >problem of man< by attempting to marry a humanistic, marxian, critical social science to a psychoanalytic theory which was stripped of its mystical and conservative social implications. Herbert Marcuse's project was to lay the philosophical foundation for a unification of social theory and revolutionary praxis. In the face of 20th century totalitarianism, each sought an incentive to act and a reason to hope, in Freud's concept of the >dynamic unconscious<. It was only a concept of fundamental human psychological, social or biological >needs< (needs which, if unmet, would necessarily motivate resistance to oppression and domination) that could counteract the pessimistic previews of the behavior shapers. aa
