Reviews
"Frie's fascinating and evocative portrayal of Erich Fromm weaves together the plight of a man tortured by the peril his relatives faced in Nazi Germany with that of a scholar analyzing the grip that fascism had on its supporters. Crucially, Fromm's social psychoanalytic approach examines not only people's feelings, but the social contexts that shaped them. Fromm's analysis of authoritarianism explains the allure of Hitler and racial narcissism more generally-- then and now. Frie offers us a brilliant thinker, German and Holocaust history, and a warning for today." -- Marion Kaplan, Professor Emerita of Modern Jewish History, New York University, and author of Between Dignity and Despair: Jewish Life in Nazi Germany (Oxford) and Hitler's Jewish Refugees: Hope and Anxiety in Portugal"No contemporary writer comes close to the sophistication of Erich Fromm's social psychology. His insights into people's desire for control and power over their lives no matter what the cost could not be more urgently relevant to this historical moment. Frie masterfully shows how 'the personal is political' goes beyond a slogan to illuminate trauma, both personal and cultural." -- Gail A.

Synopsis
Erich Fromm, the prominent twentieth-century public intellectual and psychoanalyst, was recognized for his courageous stand against fascism, racism, and human destructiveness. Until now, however, 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and the Holocaust shaped his outlook and work.In Edge of Catastrophe, Roger Frie introduces for the first time the unpublished Holocaust correspondence in Fromm's family. The letters provide insight into Fromm's life as a German-Jewish refugee and help us to understand the effect of Nazi Germany's racial terror on Fromm and his German-Jewish family. In the aftermath of the genocide, Fromm returned again and again to the themes of responsibility, social justice, and human solidarity, yet without revealing his own experience. As this book powerfully shows, Fromm's social, political, and psychological writings take on new meaning in light of the traumas and tragedies that he and his family experienced.The image of Fromm that emerges from this book enriches our understanding of what it means to be both a social critic and practicing psychologist. 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., In Edge of Catastrophe, Roger Frie introduces readers for the first time to the unpublished Holocaust letters in the family of the public intellectual and psychoanalyst Erich Fromm. The letters provide new insights into Fromm's life and work, particularly in relation to his lifelong concerns with fascism, racism, and human destructiveness. The image of Fromm that emerges enriches our understanding of what it means to be both a social critic and practicing psychologist. In light of the racial hatred, antisemitism, and political crises we see today, this book demonstrates that a politics of engagement and a psychology of well-being go hand in hand.

- v***4 (148)- Feedback left by buyer.Past 6 monthsVerified purchasePurchased 5 car Madison rail car set at auction. Received package well wrapped and in original box. Cars themselves are in excellent condition and mostly as described, although I believe they have seen some track time. That being said, seller offers returns so I'm confident seller was told these cars were new by whomever he got them from. The purchase price was excellent so when averaged with a higher than normal shipping fee it turned out to be an overall good deal.(D) #56W - Williams 43471 O Gauge Custom Pullman 60 Ft.
