Learn moreJoin renowned biophilosopher Andreas Weber for an engaging webinar on Erich Fromm’s radical vision of love as an active, life-affirming practice.
Fromm saw love not as a fleeting emotion but as an art—requiring discipline, knowledge, and deep personal transformation. In this session, Weber will explore Fromm’s insights on love, freedom, and human connection, linking them to ecological and philosophical perspectives.
At a time when modern society is shaped by individualism, digital disconnection, and consumer-driven relationships, Fromm’s work feels more urgent than ever. His critique of capitalism’s impact on love warns us of the dangers of treating relationships as transactions, while his vision of love as an ethical, active commitment offers a much-needed alternative to today’s culture of instant gratification. Weber will discuss how Fromm’s ideas can help us build authentic relationships, reclaim deeper human connection, and even reimagine our relationship with nature.
