To Have Or To Be

3 posts in this topic

Great book written by Erich Fromm, I absolutely love it.

His thesis is that two modes of existence struggle for the spirit of humankind: the "having" mode, which concentrates on material possessions, power, and aggression, and is the basis of the universal evils of greed, envy, and violence; and the "being" mode, which is based on love, the pleasure of sharing, and in productive activity.
