«Del tener al ser» is the philosophical essay by Erich Fromm, published by Paidós in hardback (168 pages, in Spanish).
The book contrasts the having mode, typical of a consumer society that identifies individuals with what they possess and leads to alienation, with the being mode, based on love, reason and creativity. Fromm presents it as an «art of living» that requires effort and self-knowledge to abandon the logic of accumulation.
Work originally published in 1976 as «To Have or To Be?», reissued in the Nueva Biblioteca Erich Fromm by Paidós.
Aimed at readers of philosophy, social psychology and personal growth who are looking for a reflection on contemporary values.
Erich Seligmann Fromm was a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, sociologist, humanistic philosopher, and democratic socialist. He was a German Jew who fled the Nazi regime and settled in the United States. He was one of the founders of The William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology in New York City and was associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory.
