«El arte de amar» is the philosophical essay by Erich Fromm, published by Ediciones Paidós in hardback, in Spanish.
The essay argues that love is not a passive emotion but an art that requires knowledge, practice and effort. Erich Fromm analyses the forms of love: fraternal love, maternal love, erotic love, self-love and love of God, and advocates an active attitude to love in a mature and authentic way, in contrast to the social idea of love as something spontaneous.
The work was originally published in 1956; this Spanish-language edition appeared in 2003. Its approach combines philosophical reflection with psychology.
Recommended for readers interested in philosophy, psychology and human relationships, and for anyone seeking a classic about love.
