Towards
a Human Science, by Kevin Anderson,
Burkhard Bierhoff, Joan Braune, Psychosozial-Verlag, 2015
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. (amazon)
