Man carries within himself not only his individuality but all of humanity, with all its potentialities, although he can realize these potentialities in only a limited way because of the external limitations of his individual existence.
Goethe, as quoted by Erich Fromm in the introduction to Socialist Humanism: An International Symposium, edited by Erich Fromm (Garden City, NY: Anchor Books, 1966), vii.
I am unable to locate the original source of this quote as Fromm does not provide any citation. Anyone know its provenance?
Hello,
Came across your blog when I was searching for critiques on Ben Anderson’s Idea of Power in Javanese Culture.
I’m a 3rd year student in NUS, Singapore. Just wanted to say that I really like the content in your blog. Good luck for that thesis of yours!
Rgds,
Shehnaz
