Description: To Have or To Be?, Paperback by Fromm, Erich, ISBN 178093680X, ISBN-13 9781780936802, Like New Used, Free shipping in the US This is a reprinting of Erich Fromm's classic examination of acquisitive culture written for a general audience. He offers psychoanalytically, philosophically, historically and (circa mid-20th century) empirically informed observations about what it means to have versus what it means to be. Th is organized into three parts. First, he generally reviews the differences between having and being with both examples from everyday life and from the New and Old Testaments. Part two turns to analyzing the differences between these two modes of existence, focusing on acquisition, asceticism, and insecurity, but also giving, sharing, and the existential import of sacrifice. The last section explores elements of a new kind of humanity and society that attends to social needs historically expressed by, though all too often corrupted, by religion. This forward thinking book places acquisitive culture at the center of modern anomie and environmental destruction. Annotation ©2013 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
