Erich Fromm is a major thinker of the 20th century, one of the great cohort of “philosophers from psychology” and the spiritual leader of the Frankfurt School of Sociology. “You will be like gods” - this is what the Serpent said, tempting Adam and Eve to eat from the tree of knowledge. Man is a sinner, weak and vain, and in his vanity he knows no fear, boundaries and prohibitions. The Lord gave man commandments to protect him from himself and to preserve the divine principle in him. In his famous work “You will be like gods,” Erich Fromm tried to consider the main provisions of the Old Testament that influenced the culture and morality of Western society, and offered his interpretations of many “dark” passages that cause controversy and discrepancies among Bible interpreters.
