The work argues that attempts to love fail without active development of the whole personality toward a productive orientation. True satisfaction in individual love depends on the capacity to love one’s neighbor, alongside humility, courage, faith, and discipline—qualities portrayed as rare in contemporary culture. The text uses accessible, non-technical language and builds on ideas from Fromm’s earlier books.","# ERICH\n\nFROMMTHEARTOF  \nLOVING  \n# An Enquiry into the Nature of Love\n\nHARPER COLOPHON BOOKS⑨CN1/$1.25  \n# THE ART\n\nOF  \nLOVING  \nBy Erich Fromm  \nMAY MAN PREVAIL?  \nESCAPE FROM FREEDOM  \nMAN FOR HIMSELF  \nPSYCHOANALYSIS AND RELIGION  \nTHE FORGOTTEN LANGUAGE  \nTHE SANE SOCIETY  \nSIGMUND FREUD's MISSION  \nMARX's CONCEPT OF MAN  \n# THE ART\n\nLOVING  \nBY ERICH FROMM  \nHARPER COLOPHON BOOKSHARPER &ROW PUBLISHERSNEW VORK AND EVANSTON  \nTHIS COLOPHON PAPERBACK EDITION REPRINTSVOLUMEIX OF THE WORLD PERSPECTIVESSERIES,WHICH IS PLANNED AND EDITED BYRUTH NANDA ANSHEN.DR.ANSHEN's EPI-LOGUE TO THIS REPRINT APPEARS ON PAGE 137·  \nTHE ART OF LOVING.Copyright C1956 by Erich Fromm.Printed in the United States of America.This book wasoriginally published in 1956 by Harper c Row,Pub-lishers.  \nAllrights in this book are reserved.No part of the bookmay be used or reproduced in any manner whatsoeverwithout written permission except in the case of briefquotations embodied in critical articles and reviews.For information address Harperd Row,Publishers,In-corporated,49 East 33rd Street,New York 16,N.Y.  \nFirst HARPER COLOPHON edition published 1962,by Harperd Row,Publishers,IncorporatedNew York and Evanston  \nI.ibrary of Congress Catalog Card Number:56-8750  \nContents  \nvii  \nFOREWORD  \nI.Is LOVE AN ART?  \n7  \nII.THE THEORY OF LoVE  \n1.Love,the Answer to the Problem ofHuman Existence  \n2.Love Between Parent and Child  \n3.The Objects of Love  \na.Brotherly Love  \nb.Motherly Love  \nc.Erotic Love  \nd.Self-Love  \ne.Love of God  \nIII.LoVE AND ITs DISINTEGRATION IN CoNTEM-PORARY WESTERN SoCIETY83  \nIV.THE PRACTICE OF LoVE107  \nEPILOGUE by Ruth Nanda Anshen137  \n# Foreword\n\nTHE READING of this book would be a disappointing ex-perience for anyone who expects easy instruction in the artof loving.This book,on the contrary,wants to show thatlove is not a sentiment which can be easily indulged in byanyone,regardless of the level of maturity reached by him.It wants to convince the reader that all his attempts for loveare bound to fail,unless he tries most actively to develophis total personality,so as to achieve a productive orienta-tion;that satisfaction in individual love cannot be attainedwithout the capacity to love one's neighbor,without truehumility,courage,faith and discipline.In a culture in whichthese qualities are rare,the attainment of the capacity tolove must remain a rare achievement.Or—anyone can askhimself how many truly loving persons he has known.  \nYet,the difficulty of the task must not be a reason toabstain from trying to know the difficulties as well as theconditions for its achievement.To avoid unnecessary com-plications I have tried to deal with the problem in a languagewhich is non-technical as far as this is possible.For the samereason I have also kept to a minimum references to theliterature on love.  \nFor another problem I did not find a completely satisfac-tory solution;that,namely,of avoiding repetition of ideasexpressed in previous books of mine.The reader familiar,  \nFOREWORD  \nespecially,with Escape from Freedom,Man for Himself,and The Sane Society,will find in this book many ideas ex-pressed in these previous works.However,The Art of Lovingis by no means mainly a recapitulation.It presents manyideas beyond the previously expressed ones,and quite nat-urally even older ones sometimes gain new perspectives bythe fact that they are all centered around one topic,thatof the art of loving.  \nE.F.","cbCaijPVaA7nsUHa","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaijPVaA7nsUHa","pdf",25073218,3,1,164,"English","en",105,"# Foreword\n# Contents\n## Is Love an Art?\n## The Theory of Love\n## Love and Its Disintegration in Contemporary Western Society\n## The Practice of Love\n## Epilogue","[{\"question\":\"Is love presented as a sentiment or as a learned skill?\",\"answer\":\"Love is presented as an art rather than a simple sentiment.
