"Two of the strongest influences on the author's personal philosophy are Freud and Marx. Dr Fromm examines in depth the relationship between Freudian and Marxist thought: the common ground - humanism, freedom from illusion and scepticism towards a 'common truth' - and the differences in attitude towards human motivation, psycho-pathology and the concept of 'social unconscious'. The author emphasises the importance of 'concerned knowledge' (identification with others through loss of ego) and discusses the manner in which such concern can lead to true objectivism- an objectivism which holds the key to our own personal salvation and the strength to live without illusions."--Back cover.
