Man for Himself.

Physiologically ethics.The book is a lot about modernized women and men which it examines its confusion. It talks about lack of faith in any principle in which the life is ought to be guided through. We as people should be more concern what is the study of us human being in the problems of philosophical way and ethics in whuch as nature cannot be understood without understanding the moral and also the values of conflicts that confront us all. I have to question myself from the book. The question for the book Man for Himself is that can science lead to a more ethical life. Well if science is all about what is actually true in the natural world, then ethics I think must be in accord with what is natural if those ethics are to be valid especially when control / controlling is not in the place to support what is actually not true in the natural world. I learned from the book ethical relativism. The book is quite interesting to read because when you start reading it, its like you are the topic in it.There is no meaning in life except the meaning man gives by unfolding his powers, by living productively. The author calls it the humanist meaning that he is individually centered. Also positively on the potentials of individual against a potentially corrupting society. Living up to ones potentials or productiveness is quite different from each other. The moral problem is that a mans indifference to himself. Man is the only animal for whom its own existence is a problem which it has to be solved and which it cannot escape. There were a lot of terminologies which are not quite familiar like the anti-social behavior which an example of it is a crime or depression. It means in many ways a response to profoundly or social environment. The author thinks that its a structural change heading a society in which individuals can be affirmed and maybe in a sense can be happy. There is no meaning in life except the meaning which a man gives by unfolding his powers. There were several characters involved like receptive, exploitative, hoarding, and marketing. Receptive means capable of or qualified, while exploitative means an act of dead. Man for Himself is like a notable work. The more one reads is that the more one is also impressed by authors insight and through his passionate conviction that courage, freedom, spontaneity and respect for life are the bases or true bases of happiness and morality. The author has really enriched the understanding of man in terms of humanity, compassion, and love.

Erich Fromm fought long and hard for the rights and freedoms of the individual. He also recognized that fundamental to this pursuit is the promotion of self-knowledge. In encouraging people to analyze their own behavior, Fromm identified the crucial link between psychology and ethics that underpins all our actions. Moreover, he saw in this a way out of the meaningless impasse which he regarded as the plight of the modern human race. The task that Fromm sets himself, therefore, in Man for Himself is no less than to identify "what man is, how he ought to live, and how the tremendous energies within man can be released and used productively." The resulting book is ample witness to Fromm's success. It makes for exciting, illuminating, even life-changing reading.
