Love, Sexuality, and Matriarchy

In this thought-provoking collection of essays, the bestselling author of The Art of Loving examines the intricate dynamics between men and women through a psychological lens. Drawing on the theories of influential thinkers such as Bachofen, Freud, and Marx, Fromm explores how historical matriarchal and patriarchal structures shape gender relations. He argues that the future of humanity hinges not on male-female conflict, but on whether we embrace a character orientation centered on love and life or succumb to a fascination with force and destruction.
