Capitalism and Sanity - Erich Fromm

This segment discusses posts from the Philosophics Blog on the book The Sane Society by Erich Fromm. The first entry, written in March 2025, introduces the book's central question of societal sanity and its continued relevance, comparing Fromm's perspective to that of Mark Fisher. The author notes Fromm's psychiatric lens on human nature and the concept of normalcy. A subsequent post, also from March 2025, focuses on Chapter 5 of Fromm's work, examining his historical perspective on capitalism and its evolution from the Industrial Revolution. This entry highlights Fromm's observations on early capitalist practices and the shift towards prioritising capital over humanity in later periods, drawing parallels with Marxist critique.https://philosophics.blog/2025/03/06/man-in-capitalistic-society/
