The Heart of Man

Its Genius for Good and Evil
Book • 1964
In 'The Heart of Man', Erich Fromm examines the essence of evil and humanity's potential for destruction, while also discussing the positive value of 'love of life' as a counterbalance to destructive tendencies.

The book expands on ideas from his earlier works, such as 'Escape from Freedom' and 'The Art of Loving', to explore human nature and the capacity for both good and evil.
