«Tenir o ésser?» is the philosophy and psychoanalysis essay by Erich Fromm, published by Editorial Claret in paperback (256 pages, in Catalan).
Erich Fromm contrasts two modes of life: having, linked to possession, consumption and status, and being, centred on inner experience, love and human relationships. Modern society has privileged the logic of property, generating alienation, and the author proposes a psychosocial change to recover an authentic existence.
The work originally appeared in 1976 under the title To Have or To Be?; this Catalan edition by Editorial Claret is from 2013.
Aimed at readers interested in philosophy, social psychology and critique of contemporary consumerism.
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.
