About the book: 2024 / Erich Fromm is the greatest thinker of the twentieth century, one of the great cohort of "philosophers from psychology" and the spiritual leader of the Frankfurt sociological schools. The works of Erich Fromm are always relevant, because the main theme of his research was the revelation of human essence as the realization of a productive life-creative principle. This collection includes works in which the author makes an attempt to understand the enduring “war” of the sexes, which has deep historical and cultural roots, and to find a way to establish an open, clear and fruitful dialogue between free and equal men and women. The articles “Bachofen’s Discovery of Mother’s Rights” and “Men’s Creation” are published for the first time in Russian. The publishing layout has been preserved.
