So far only little has been known about the extent to which Fromm’s personal experience of Nazi Germany and the Holocaust shaped his outlook and work. In Edge of Catastrophe<\/em>, Roger Frie introduces for the first time in English the Holocaust correspondence in Fromm’s family (the German letters were first published 2005 in Fromm Forum<\/em>). These letters provide insight into Fromm’s life as a German-Jewish refugee. In the aftermath of the genocide, Fromm returned again and again to the themes of responsibility, social justice, and human solidarity, yet without speaking about his own experience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In light of the racial hatred and antisemitism we see today, Frie demonstrates that a politics of engagement and a psychology of well-being go hand in hand. Frie suggests that there is much to be learned from the urgency in Fromm’s writings as we seek to respond to the social crises and the renewed threat of fascism in our present age.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Table of Contents<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n Introduction<\/p>\n\n\n\n 1: The Holocaust Correspondence<\/p>\n\n\n\n 2: How Is This Possible?<\/p>\n\n\n\n 3: Yearning to Submit<\/p>\n\n\n\n 4: Confronting Genocide<\/p>\n\n\n\n 5: Cultivating Love and Hope<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Roger Frie, Oxford University Press, 2024, hard cover, 216 Pages, ISBN: 9780197748770 So far only little has been known about the extent to which Fromm’s personal experience of Nazi Germany […]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":9497,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[134,193],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-9496","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-books","category-newsletter-en"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9496","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=9496"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9496\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":9499,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/9496\/revisions\/9499"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/9497"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=9496"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=9496"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/fromm-gesellschaft.eu\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=9496"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
