About this product

Product Information

Renowned psychoanalyst and social philosopher Erich Fromm examines the causes and effects of people's violent tendencies in The Anatomy of Human Destructiveness . In this provocative book, the distinguished author writes to break the deadlock argued about the roots of human nature by exploring the struggle between the instinctivism of Konrad Lorenz and behavior psychologist B. F. Skinner: are people inherently antagonistic or do people learn hostility from their environment and the actions of those around them? Drawing from neurophysiology and anthropology studies and findings, Fromm presents fascinating ideas about how the human character and condition developed--and continues to develop--in contemporary society. "A book by Erich Fromm is always intelligent and contains much of interest and insight, and this one is no exception."-- The New York Times

"If any single work could bring mankind to its senses, this book might qualify for that miracle. . . . This book is the product of one of the most penetrating, most mature minds of our time."--Lewis Mumford "In this perhaps most important of his pioneering theoretical works, the distinguished author writes with brilliant insight in attempting to break the deadlock in the struggle between the instinctivism of Konrad Lorenz . . . and behaviorist B.F.

PERFECT TRANSACTION! The book was priced very reasonably; it is EXACTLY as pictured / described by the seller (coffee_house_art_and_books) in fantastic condition; It arrived quickly; and it was packaged very well. I am beyond psyched to begin reading this final chapter of The Dark Tower, but sad to know it's the last volume. THANK YOU "coffee_house_art_and_books" for making this possible, and for being another awesome seller we can all trust and rely on to provide us with a great experience.
