Freedom disobedience (40 Ergebnisse)

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. "Human history began with an act of disobedience, and it is not unlikely that it will be terminated by an act of obedience."--from On Disobedience One of the great psychological and social philosophers of the twentieth century, Erich Fromm expounded on the importance of disobedience and the authentic voice of the individual in modern culture. As relevant now as when it was first published, On Disobedience is a collection of provocative essays, including the title entry, which suggests the very act of dissent--the choice to refuse to conform, to speak "no" to those in power--is essential to a humane society, both to ensure humankind's preservation and to allow for one person to reclaim a genuine sense of self. In On Disobedience, Fromm writes that the authoritarian dictatorships of the 20th century produced an "organization man" to follow directives blindly, no matter how abhorrent. At the same time, a kind of conformity has arisen in western democracies, only brought about by more subtle means of massive consumerism. In democracies, where the power to implement irreversible destruction rests in the hands of the few, the individual also needs to retain his ability to dissent and to speak "no" to those in power. In the face of these conformist pressures in whichever form they take, modern man must seek an authentic expression in order to retain his deepest sense of self. Fromm sees both capitalism and totalitarian communism moving toward a life-denying industrial bureaucracy, and berates the one system for ignoring, the other for betraying, the ideals of a true humanistic socialism in which people take precedence over things, life over property, and work over capital. Fromm maintains the necessity of the freedom to dissent. Of this form of disobedience, he writes, "it is not primarily an attitude directed against something, but for something: for man's capacity to see, to say what he sees, and to refuse to say what he does not see. To do so he does not need to be aggressive or rebellious; he needs to have his eyes open, to be fully awake." In times of crisis, the great works of philosophy help us make sense of the world. This book is part of the Harper Perennial Resistance Library, a special five-book series highlighting short classic works of independent thought that illuminate the nature of truth, humanity's dangerous attraction to authoritarianism, the influence of media and mass communication, and the philosophy of resistance--all critical in understanding today's politically charged world.…

Taschenbuch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - The Thoreau Classics: Walden, Civil Disobedience & Walking gathers three foundational works of American thought, uniting Thoreau's meditations on simplicity, moral conscience, and the wild as a source of spiritual renewal. Walden blends autobiography, philosophy, natural observation, and social critique in a prose style at once exacting and lyrical; Civil Disobedience distills political ethics into a compact argument for principled resistance; Walking extends Transcendentalist faith in nature into a defense of intellectual and bodily freedom. Together, these texts stand at the crossroads of American Romanticism, reform literature, and environmental writing. Henry David Thoreau, born in Concord, Massachusetts, in 1817, was shaped by New England Transcendentalism, especially the influence of Ralph Waldo Emerson, yet his voice remains distinctively practical and uncompromising. His experiment at Walden Pond, his refusal to pay a poll tax in protest of slavery and the Mexican-American War, and his daily intimacy with the Concord landscape all directly inform these works. This collection is essential for readers interested in literature, political philosophy, ecology, or the examined life. It rewards slow reading and invites renewed attention to freedom, responsibility, and the art of deliberate living. …
