A review by kostopoulos2000
The Art of Being by Erich Fromm

3.0

tragically unimaginative. Fromm has a lot of really interesting influences and it's cool seeing someone articulate a conception of being influenced strongly (and mostly) by Marx, Freud, Japanese Buddhism, and Spinoza but all that amounted to was super narrow and ontologically constrictive conception of what it means to be as a person-- even if Fromm makes interesting critiques to get there.
