In this work, Fromm argues that contemporary life often leads to a sense of alienation and disconnection among people. He emphasizes that societal structures and cultural norms can create conditions that are detrimental to sanity, leading individuals to experience profound loneliness and a lack of purpose. Fromm discusses the concept of a "sane society," which he believes should promote genuine human connections and support personal growth. He critiques capitalism and the pursuit of material wealth, suggesting that these factors contribute to the dehumanization of individuals. According to Fromm, a sane society should focus on creating environments where people feel valued, connected, and engaged in meaningful activities. In conclusion, Fromm's ideas call for a reevaluation of societal values and the need to prioritize emotional well-being over mere economic success. He urges the creation of social systems that encourage cooperation, empathy, and community, thus fostering a sense of belonging and purpose in people's lives. The vision of a sane society that Fromm presents serves as a blueprint for rethinking how we interact with one another and the structures we live within.
