 Marx's Concept of ManFromm, Erich http://www.connexions.org/CxArchive/MIA/fromm/works/1961/man/index.htmhttp://www.marxists.org/archive/fromm/works/1961/man/index.htm Publisher: Frederick Ungar Publishing, New York Year Published: 1961 Resource Type: Book Cx Number: CX6422 It is one of the peculiar ironies of history that there are no limits to the misunderstanding and distortion of theories, even in an age when there is unlimited access to the sources; there is no more drastic example of this phenomenon than what has happened to the theory of Karl Marx in the last few decades....I shall try to demonstrate that this interpretation of Marx is completely false; that his theory does not assume that the main motive of man is one of material gain; that, furthermore, the very aim of Marx is to liberate man from the pressure of economic needs, so that he can be fully human; that Marx is primarily concerned with the emancipation of man as an individual, the overcoming of alienation, the restoration of his capacity to relate himself fully to man and to nature; that Marx's philosophy constitutes a spiritual existentialism in secular language and because of this spiritual quality is opposed to the materialistic practice and thinly disguised materialistic philosophy of our age.
