All-healthy Man And Sound Society——a Research On Fromm' Thought Of Human Nature

Erich Fromm (1900.3-1980.3) was a famous delegate character of western Frankfurt School in the twentieth Century. His research involves the philosophy, psychology, ethics and sociology and other fields, and his representatives include "Escape from Freedom","Psychoanalysis and Religion","Healthy Society","Beyond the Chains of Illusion" and "The art of Love". In his research, notably, he integrated Freud's psychoanalysis and Marx's thought on people and society and studied people's social character with the methods in psychology. This kind of research of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary opened up a new field of research on human nature. He built up a unique "social character" theory by integrating Marx'social analysis theory, which emphasizes the social mode of production, and the research methods of psychology, paying attention to the analysis of impact which social structure has on the human. In the light of this theory, he tried to explain the dilemma and spiritual crisis which the modern people and society in the west are confronted with, and then put forward his idea of "perfect personality" and "perfect society". This paper aims to study Fromm'thought of human nature, digging out its realistic significance.This paper is divided into three parts:the first part:the origin of Fromm'thought. This section briefly introduces the formation of Fromm's thought and the theoretical source of the age factor. The second part:the frame of Fromm's human nature thought. This part elaborates Fromm's unique "social character" and "social unconsciousness" theory and the relationship between the alienation of human nature and that. The third part:Alienation and its reversion. In general, people in western modern society are in a state of alienation. In order to cure the pathological alienation of social, Fromm argues that people's self-perfection is a good way to solve the relevant people and social relationship problems. He also argues to establish a perfect society with friendship, mutual help, non-loneliness through a series of reforms in economic, cultural, political field.
