“The application of psychoanalysis to sociology must definitely guard against the mistake of wanting to give psychoanalytic answers where economic, technical, or political facts provide the real and sufficient explanation of sociological questions. On the other hand, the psychoanalyst must emphasize that the subject of sociology, society, in reality consists of individuals, and that it is these human beings, rather than abstract society as such, whose actions, thoughts, and feelings are the object of sociological research.” GivingHumansRealFactsFeelingsHandsRealityActionPoliticalIndividualHuman BeingsAnswersMistakeEconomicSubjectsObjectsResearchExplanationSufficientAbstractApplicationSociologyPsychoanalysisThoughts And FeelingsSociologicalPsychoanalytic Author:Erich Fromm

“We as a nation need to be reeducated about the necessary and sufficient conditions for making human beings human. We need to be reeducated not as parents--but as workers, neighbors, and friends; and as members of the organizations, committees, boards--and, especially, the informal networks that control our social institutions and thereby determine the conditions of life for our families and their children.” NeedsHumansChildrenNationsSocialParentHuman BeingsEducationSocietyConditionsMembersOrganizationInstitutionsWorkersDetermineNeighborOur FamilyBoardsSufficientCommitteesBeing HumanSocial InstitutionsNeighbors And Friends Author:Urie Bronfenbrenner
“At this point, an urgent question arises: [...] Is it our duty to seek to become a thorough and complete human being, one quite sufficient unto himself; or, on the contrary, to be only a part of a whole, the organ of an organism? Briefly, is the division of labor, at the same time that it is a law of nature, also a moral rule of human conduct; and, if it has this latter character, why and in what degree?” IfsHumansWholeCharacterLawHuman BeingsMoralDutyDegreesLaborContraryAriseSufficientLatterDivisionOrgansOrganismsUrgentLaws Of NatureThoroughDivision Of LaborParts Of A Whole Author:Emile Durkheim
