This essay offers an intellectual history of the feud between the Frankfurt School philosophers Erich Fromm and Herbert Marcuse. In the competitive space of their debate, both thinkers attempted to redefine the spiritual experience and practice of love in a modern society. While a criterion for both Fromm and Marcuse was that love must be politically and historically radical, their different visions of that historical radicalism - exemplified in their 1955 debate in Dissent, and the two texts published immediately after their debate, Marcuse’s Eros and Civilization (1955) and Fromm’s The Art of Loving - parted ways at the idea of perversion. Perversion became a central procedure in Marcuse’s praxis of a real “outlawed” love that could negate modernity’s excessive sociability of guilt. For Fromm, perversion remained a “spiritual” form of regression away from love and maturity that he likened to violence. In both instances, the memory of German fascism was key to the (un)productive mistranslation of their ideas on love and perversion. / text

Depuis le début du 20e siècle, la consommation est devenue un appareil idéologique que les masses utilisent pour acquérir une auto-identité par la voie des sens symboliques des marchandises. Cette évolution de la consommation vers le consumérisme ne peut être expliquée de l’intérieur du consensus théorique de la Science sous influence du paradigme dominant. Toutefois, la transformation peut être comprise par la voie d’une critique immanente de la rationalité. La consommation peut être vue comme la nouvelle méthode de la socialisation que l’individu utilise afin de se lier à la communauté dans la mesure où il est dépourvu dans la modernité du lien direct avec ses semblables. Le consensus théorique de la partie idéologique de la Science montre cette nouvelle méthode comme moyen de pacification des conflits qui peuvent perturber l’unité sociale, alors qu’en réalité la consommation de masse est source de destruction et de contradiction. La thèse essaye de démontrer la contradiction de ce nouveau modèle de socialisation et de clarifier le véritable rôle de la consommation : assurer la passivité des masses en réponse aux conflits sociaux du début du 20e siècle. « La peur de la liberté » d’Erich Fromm est utilisé pour la base de la recherche et les idées de l’école de Francfort sont évoquées pour développer la méthode de recherche. / Since the beginning of the 20th century, the consumption has become an ideological apparatus which is used for acquiring a self-identity through the symbolic meanings of the products. This evolution of the consumption in the consumerism cannot be comprehended inside the theoretical consensus of Science which is under the influence of the dominating paradigm. However, the transformation can be understood through an immanent critique of the rationality. The consumption can be seen as the new method of socialization that the individual uses to link herself/himself to the community insofar as the individual lacks in the modernity the direct link with the others. The theoretical consensus of the ideological part of Science shows this new method as a way to pacify the individual conflicts which can disrupt the social unity, in reality the mass consumption is the source of destruction and contradiction. The thesis aims to point out that contradiction of the theory and to clarify the real role of the consumption: constitute the passiveness of the masses in response to the social conflicts of the beginning of 20th century. The book “Escape from Freedom” of Erich Fromm is used as the base of the research and the ideas of the Frankfurt School are evoked in order to develop the research method.

De Erich Fromm foram utilizados os livros citados por Freire, traduzidos para o Português como O medo á Liberdade (1960), O coração do homem (1967a) , Análise do Homem (1974) também O conceito marxista de homem (1967b). Para a pesquisa, foram observadas nos livros mencionados, citações de Freire feitas a Fromm. Observamos que Fromm aparece com recorrência em muitos temas abordados por Freire, tais como: O conceito de Homem, o conceito de liberdade e a noção de medo à liberdade. Partindo dessa observação e dessas temáticas, investigamos a influência de Fromm nos escritos de Freire, observando divergências e convergências entre os autores. O estudo realizado evidenciou que Freire mesmo tendo uma mudança epistemológica ao longo de seus escritos, recorre muitas vezes a Fromm para respaldar seus conceitos, porém trazendo uma perspectiva diferente à superação do medo à liberdade, construindo assim uma alternativa educativa à emancipação humana / Abstract: The work aims to research Erich Fromm's influence in Paulo Freire's major works, namely: Education, the practice of freedom(1971) , Pedagogy of the Oppressed(2005) and Conscientization(1980). Having, however, visited other works, comments were made on other important author bibliographic references, such as Extension or Communication(1983) and Cultural action for freedom (1970); books in which there is great debate on the discussed concepts. Erich's Fromms books used in the research were the ones that were quoted by Freire in his work, translated to Portuguese as: Fear will Freedom (1960), The Heart of Man (1967), Human Analysis (1974) And Also The Marxist concept of man (1967b). For the research, Fromm's quotes made by Freire were observed in the above mentioned books. As noted, Fromm appears frequently in many topics approached by Freire such as: the concept of men, the concept of freedom and the notion of fear of freedom. From these themes and observations, we investigate Fromm's influence in Freire writings, noting differences and similarities between the authors. The study showed that, even considering an epistemological change throughout his writings, Freire often resorts to Fromm to support its concepts, bringing, nonetheless, a different perspective in the solution to overcome the fear of freedom, building thus an educational alternative to human emancipation / Mestrado / Filosofia e História da Educação / Mestra em Educação

Práce podává analýzu příčin dnešního islámského terorismu. Jako teoretický rámec výzkumu používá sociálně-psychologickou teorii Ericha Fromma. Dochází k závěru, že islámský terorismus je důsledkem rapidní socio-ekonomické změny, která se odehrála v muslimských zemích po 2. světové válce a vedla k vykořenění a ztrátě orientace ve světě u části muslimské populace. Ta posléze přijala ideologii islamismu jako nový rámec orientace. Islámský terorismus je pak jednou ze strategií, kterou islamismus používá k dosažení svých cílů.

The aim of the diploma thesis Philosophy of Erich Fromm and Its Impact on the Present was to place the legacy of Erich Fromm into a philosophical context. The diploma thesis contains 4 main sections. The keywords needed to draw the philosophical background are defined in the first section, namely Privation; Hedonism; Eudemonia; and Virtues. The life and work of Erich Fromm are presented in the second section. Biography is followed by the third and most important section: the distinction of two life orientations. Fromm's existential modes of having and being are presented at the subchapters Speech; Authority and its application; Self-knowledge and personal development; Conversation; and Fear of Death. I focus on the vision of a new society according to Fromm's concept in the fourth section. In the last chapter, I offer a critical evaluation of the presented theses.
