The works of Erich Fromm, included in this collection, give an idea of the evolution of the views of the famous humanist philosopher and social psychologist. Being a follower of the theory of S. Freud, E. Fromm over time critically revised some of the provisions of psychoanalysis. Fromm substantiated the Freudian model of man, whose motivation for actions was considered to be unconscious processes, with real social factors and proved their importance in the formation of the human personality. The work “Zen Buddhism and Psychoanalysis” is an attempt to compare two philosophical systems that most fully reflect the features of modern Western and Eastern mentalities .The book will be of interest to all readers interested in problems of social psychology.
