This February 2025, several of us are participating in the 30-Day Philosophy Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, we choose a quote or concept from a philosopher, past or present, and share it with others. Participating in this activity is actually sharing wisdom with others. My philosopher choice today is ERICH FROMM
Erich Fromm can be labeled a psychologist or psychoanalyst, but he certainly had philosophical views. Many of those theories challenged people to break free from conformity and rediscover what makes each of us truly human. He saw love not as a fleeting emotion but as an art—one that requires knowledge, effort, and practice to master. Amongst psychologists he was part of a group called Neo-Freudians.
In January 1956 Fromm published a book called The Art of Loving which did go on to be a best-seller.
Philosophy 30-Day Challenge Guidelines
Like previous challenges there are no hard and fast rules to participate. There are a few suggested guidelines
- Identify your choice of philosopher, and, if necessary, offer up a brief bio on that individual.
- If you need help here is a link to some famous philosophers
- Provide the quote or concept that is attributed to this philosopher.
- If sharing with others use the #Coach4adayChallenge
February 8th Philosopher–Erich Fromm
Fromm spent time in the United States working at several universities including NYU, Michigan, and Bennington College. He authored several books including “Escape from Freedom” which chronicled how man had gained more and more freedoms over time.
Here is the quote I selected from Erich Fromm
“Paradoxically, the ability to be alone is the condition for the ability to love.”-Erich Fromm
