«El miedo a la libertad» is the essay by Erich Fromm, published by Ediciones Paidós in paperback (432 pages, in Spanish).
Fromm studies the crisis of Western civilization and the paradox of modern freedom: by breaking traditional ties, the individual can fall into consumerism and cultural standardization. Faced with this flight, he proposes a freedom based on autonomy and the full development of the person, as an alternative to authoritarianism.
It belongs to the Nueva Biblioteca Erich Fromm collection. Translation by Gino Germani; the original work in English was published in 1941.
For readers of social philosophy and psychology interested in the classics of twentieth-century thought and in the analysis of contemporary society.
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.
