The problem of ethics and moral values is the main concern of this wide-ranging study. Erich Fromm argues that psychology cannot be divorced from ethics, and that it has a responsibility to frame objective standards of conduct. Fromm follows Jung in recognizing the importance of the moral factor in psychiatry but goes beyond Jung in proposing a new system of ethics on a scientific basis.
A brilliant psychoanalytical and historical work which asks - is the fear of freedom the root of the twentieth century's predeliction for one or other kind of totalitarianism?.
