Der angebliche Radikalismus von Herbert Marcuse: Infantilization and Dispair Maskerading as Radicalism
Erich Fromm und Herbert Marcuse, die ehemaligen Kollegen am Institut für Sozialforschung, gerieten Mitte der Fünfziger Jahre in einen heftigen Disput um das Verständnis von Psychoanalyse und deren Rolle bei der Veränderung von Gesellschaft. Als Marcuse sich als Kenner der Psychoanalyse in der 1968er-Bewegung zum Wortführer einer Gesellschaftsveränderung machte, griff Fromm noch einmal zur Feder und schrieb diese scharfe Kritik an Marcuse, die er aber nie veröffentlichte. Hier wird der 1969 entstandene Beitrag zugänglich gemacht.

About the author
Erich Fromm
527 books4,698 followersErich Fromm, Ph.D. (Sociology, University of Heidelberg, 1922) was a German-American social psychologist, psychoanalyst, sociologist, humanistic philosopher, and democratic socialist. He was a German Jew who fled the Nazi regime and settled in the United States. He was one of the founders of The William Alanson White Institute of Psychiatry, Psychoanalysis and Psychology in New York City and was associated with the Frankfurt School of critical theory.
Fromm explored the interaction between psychology and society, and held various professorships in psychology in the U.S. and Mexico in the mid-20th century.
Fromm's theory is a rather unique blend of Freud and Marx. Freud, of course, emphasized the unconscious, biological drives, repression, and so on. In other words, Freud postulated that our characters were determined by biology. Marx, on the other hand, saw people as determined by their society, and most especially by their economic systems.
