Erich Fromm
In "The Art of Loving" by Erich Fromm, the author tries to demonstrate the difficulties of loving feeling. We talk about common mistakes where it is believed that love is to receive love and not give it, it is to find an object to love, when in reality it is, according to Fromm, an art that requires a learning process.
Is love an art?: general belief is that love is a pleasant feeling, but it is an art that requires esfuerzo.Se think the problem is being loved and not love, assessing issues with success, power, wealth, attractiveness, importance is given to object before the función.O So for Fromm, love as any art, requires a learning process.
theory of love:
Love in response to the problem of human existence, man seeks to overcome his soledad.En the child, the mother avoids the feeling of separateness. Fromm speaks of orgiastic states, such as those that occur in primitive cultures, through communal ritual orgies, which do not fault for being accepted by society.
orgiastic In cultures not, you try to escape the separateness by alcohol and drugs, but causes guilt. Sex without love is not good either exhaust separateness. Orgiastic unions are strong, transient and periodic. The individual disappears in favor of equality rebaño.La membership as a condition for the development of individuality, it is society to avoid friction. Fromm
talk that the polarity of the sexes is disappearing, and with it, erotic love, alleging that the union polaridad.Pero for compliance does not solve the anguish of separateness, and that is seen in alcoholism, drug addiction , suicide, compulsive sexuality. A third form of union would be creativity, where the individual creates its object and become one. But this does not apply to all individuals, but to the artists.
So orgiastic union is transient. The joint compliance is pseudo-unity. And the creative activity is not interpersonal.Ante this scenario, only love can make a merger with another person, being then the most powerful impulse in men.
Fromm talks about love mature (not symbiotic as the fetus and mother), where is the paradox of two beings become one and yet remain dos.La capacity for love is an act of giving without expecting anything in return, it also involves care, responsibility, respect and understanding, everything is interdependent.
Fromm criticizes Freud's theory that sexual desire awarded to the elimination of chemical stress in the body, without taking into account the psychobiological.
The love between parents and children at birth The stimulation only feels maternal love, the outside is real according to their needs. Growing
learn to perceive things, and between eight and ten years, and can love. Fromm believes that the child thinks of love as love because I suck, and mature love, love me because I love.
immature love says I love you because I need you. The basis of mental health is in the success of the relationship parents children.
love objects: distinguishes brotherly love, motherly love, erotic love, love yourself and love God as love objects.
Love: In contemporary society, love is a rare phenomenon due to the capitalist structure of sociedad.La practice of love is a personal experience, that requires discipline, patience, concern.
who knows nothing, loves nothing. Who can do nothing, understands nothing. Whoever understands nothing, anything goes. But he also includes ama.observa, go ... The greater the knowledge inherent in one thing, the greater the love ... Who believes that all fruits ripen at the same time as strawberries knows nothing about grapes. Paracelsus
