Encountering Marx and Freud: Breaking Illusions

Erich Fromm, the renowned writer and psychologist, was able to smile until the end of his life, despite suffering from several heart attacks during his later years. This photo was taken just two weeks before his death in 1980. Born in 1900, Fromm shared a close bond with his mother, Rosa Fromm, as demonstrated in a picture from around 1906.

Throughout his life, Fromm made a point to meditate regularly and analyze his dreams on a daily basis. In this image captured in his home in Cuernavaca around 1965, Fromm appears deep in thought while meditating.

Despite the physical struggles he faced, Fromm's dedication to his inner peace and mental well-being remained unwavering. His commitment to mindfulness and self-reflection served as a guiding force in his life and work as a psychoanalyst and social philosopher. Fromm's ability to find solace in meditation even during the most challenging times speaks to his resilience and inner strength. The peaceful demeanor he exudes in the photo serves as a testament to his unwavering belief in the power of self-awareness and introspection.
