Erich Fromms Sozialpsychologie und sein Konzept des
Sozialcharakters stehen im Zentrum seines wissenschaftlichen Erbes.
Sein Ansatz zeigt, wie sich wirtschaftliche und gesellschaftliche
Erfordernisse in psychischen Strebungen manifestieren, die
ihrerseits dem Denken, Fühlen und Handeln der Menschen eine
bestimmte Ausrichtung geben.
Die Beiträgerinnen und Beiträger des Buches machen mit dem
aktuellen Stand der Forschungen zum Sozialpsychologen und
Humanisten Fromm bekannt und geben einen Überblick über die
weltweite Weiterentwicklung seines Denkens in den Human- und
Sozialwissenschaften. Sie werden durch einen programmatischen
Beitrag Fromms zu einer »Humanistischen Wissenschaft vom Menschen«
eingeleitet.

There is a global rediscovery of the ideas and theories of Erich
Fromm underway, leading to this book that reviews Fromm’s
international reception and provides a critical reappraisal of his
work rooted in his own philosophy of science that insists on the
time-limited nature of all theoretical systems. Because of Fromm’s
provocative philosophy of science, this volume is entitled
Towards a Human Science and begins with the republication
of a 1957 essay called The Humanistic Science of Man. Most
of the papers in the book have their origins in presentations given
at the first International Erich Fromm Research Conference at the
International Psychoanalytic University in Berlin (June 2014).
In addition to documenting Fromm’s continuing relevance,
Towards a Human Science centrally engages with his
theoretical system directly and critically, particularly his theory
of social character. The book opens paths for research, theories
and insights in neurosciences, evolutionary psychology, sociology,
philosophy, religious studies and radical humanist public
intellectual work. In doing so, this revisit and reappraisal can
help us move beyond some of the limitations of his work and
reformulate and build on his insights for the 21st century.
