Definition of human nature (E. Fromm in Escape from Freedom)

Filed under: Nuggets from guys i generally dont like, Philosophy, human nature — aletheia22 @ 12:23 pm

the fundamental approach to human personality is the understanding of mans relation to the world, to otheres, to nature an to himself. We belive that a man is a primarily a social beeing nad not as Freud assumes, primarily self-sufficient and only secondarily in need of others in order to stisfy his instinctual needs…..key problem of psychology is that of the particular kind of relatedness of the individual toward the world, not that of satisfaction or frustration of single instinctual desires.
