On Disobedience and Other Essays

Erich Fromm (1900–1980) – the greatest thinker of the 20th century, one of the great cohort of "philosophers of psychology" and the spiritual leader of the Frankfurt School of Sociology. His works made an invaluable contribution to the development of social psychology and humanistic psychoanalysis. The essays that make up this collection present Erich Fromm primarily as a public figure who seeks ways to preserve peace, common sense, and the survival of humanity. In times of unprecedented propaganda and informational pressure, Fromm's call to maintain critical thinking and the ability to resist moral decay and imposed opinions seems more relevant than ever.
