In the book “Man for Himself,” Erich Fromm reflects on the role and purpose of a person in the modern era, when the development of technology and society has freed them from exhausting physical labor. Achieving significant success in material culture and strengthening control over nature, humanity has accumulated extensive knowledge about the world of things. But at the same time, despite scientific achievements, people still understand little about the main thing: what human essence is, how life should be built, and what to direct the powerful inner energy laid within each person.
