Synopsis "the dogma of christ"

When he was 26, the great psychoanalyst and philosopher Erich Fromm abandoned Judaism, though he himself was descended from a long line of rabbis and the product of a devout Jewish upbringing. The title essay of this collection was first published in 1930, just four years after he made that first, decisive split. It was to point towards the future Fromm's work, presenting the view that an understanding of basic human needs is essential to the understanding of society and mankind itself. The following essays too, show a man who would eventually establish himself as a major thinker, producing some of that era's most influential and astute political works.

Erich Fromm (1900-1980) was an influential psychoanalyst, sociologist, and German philosopher, whose work addressed humanistic psychology and the critical analysis of modern society. Educated at the Frankfurt School, he combined Marxism with Freudian psychoanalysis, exploring the relationship between individual and society. His books have had a lasting impact on psychology, philosophy, and politics, standing out for their focus on freedom, love, and human nature.

Among his most recognized works are The Art of Loving (1956), The Fear of Freedom (1941), and To Have or to Be (1976), where he reflects on consumerism and alienation. His legacy remains relevant in debates about ethics, individualism, and psychological well-being.
