Erich Fromm suri 1980. aastal mõni päev enne oma 80. sünnipäeva. Sotsiaalsed vajadused Selleks et mõista inimese sotsiaalset käitumist, tuleb orienteeruda tema vajadustest. A. Vajadus suhelda (for relatedness) väljendub püsivate ja usaldusväärsete inimsuhete tarbes. - Alternatiivid: kas armastada või asuda sümbiootilisse (allutamisel või allumisel põhinevasse) suhtesse. B. Vajadus ületada (for transcendence). Eneseaktualiseerimise, oma piiratuse ületamise vajadus. -Alernatiivid: agressioon või looming C. Vajadus juurte järgi (for rootedness) püüd kindlusele, seotusele. - Alternatiivid: oma suguvõsa, klanni kummardamine (natsionalism ja rassism) Või inimsus, vendlus ja kõige elava austamine. D.

In postmodernism history is ongoing and neverending, whatever shuts down discourse means death. Different types of postmodernism- derrida and deconstruction-there is no distinction boarders between high and low culture. Like modernists derrida believed in fragmentation in language play, emphazis on immanense rather than transcendence, immanense means subjectivity, inherent, not going beyond but being within. In modernism art is a place peaceful escape, the artist rises above the chaos, people are alienated but art is peaceful, art is the creator of new explanations and so on. Postmodernism art is different, artist is no longer above life, but is within the chaos of life, artist takes place in the life. According to derrida, the world used to
