Erich Fromm, Alienated Society and Healthy Society

From capitalism to humanist socialism

Translated by Janine Claude.

In this work, Erich Fromm, world-renowned psychoanalyst and writer, analyzes the condition of modern man in a society whose main concern is economic production and shows us the various possibilities for social change that can divert us from the path of robotics and lead us to mental health as responsible and creative individuals in a healthy society.

appears to only be in french?.. i thought it was maybe the same as the sane society.. but via google ai:

No, “Alienated Society and Healthy Society: From Capitalism to Humanist Socialism” by Erich Fromm is not the same book as “The Sane Society,” although they are closely related; “The Sane Society” is the title of the English translation of Fromm’s work that most directly explores the concept of a “sane” society, while “Alienated Society and Healthy Society” is a translation that focuses more on the themes of alienation within capitalist systems and the potential for a more “healthy” society based on humanist socialism

jon says he’s thinking they’re the same

leaving page.. just in case they’re not

i also googled how many chapters in alienated/healthy society and got this from google ai:

“Alienated Society and Healthy Society: From Capitalism to Human Socialism” by Erich Fromm is typically considered to have 12 chapters across its different editions, although the exact chapter titles and organization might vary slightly depending on the specific publication. 

Key points about the chapters:

Central themes:Throughout the chapters, Fromm discusses concepts like the “marketing personality,” the need for relatedness, the destructive potential of consumerism, and the importance of individual freedom in a healthy society

Focus on societal analysis:The book explores the psychological and societal impacts of capitalism, highlighting the alienation it can create, and proposes a vision of a “human socialist” society as a healthier alternative.
