Erich Fromm and Universal Humane Experience: Application in the Aesthetic Domain for Art Educators
(2012)
The author outlines a unique transdisciplinary method for studying fear and fearlessness, with emphasis on a new conceptualization >World’s Fearlessness Teachings< (i.e., Fearlessness Tradition) and their critical importance, across time and cultures, to better manage and teach fear management in the 21st century. Extracts from the author’s new book >The World’s Fearlessness Teachings: A Critical Integral Approach to Fear Management/ Education for the 21st Century< (University Press of America, 2010) are included. The paper concludes that >experts< in the area of fear management/education are generally unwilling to try a transdisciplinary approach because it is more work and less pragmatic. The author admits his methodology is radical, while grounded in an evolutionary realismidealism model, and few >experts< in fear management are interested in it, so far. The field of Education ought to lead this (r)evolutionary approach and utilize the resource of the World’s Fearlessness Teachings to do so.
