Main Article Content

Abstract

This article refers to Fromm’s evolution since his first books were written between the year 1920 and 1934 to Fromm’s maturity which started in the year 1934, particularly shown in his book Fear of Freedom (1966). This author stated what is known as the Humanistic Anthropology or, by default, a Humanistic Psychoanalysis –which pursues the achievement of the individual’s fulfillment. This fulfillment includes the evolvement and development of all his/her potentialities and abilities. It is worth mentioning first that Sigmund Freud’s Principles of Psychoanalysis and Karl Mark’s Dialectical Materialism are present in his Fromm’s work. The main difference resides in the approach given to each of these author’s interest in the Human Being and in his/her specific problems and the context in which these occur.
