ABSTRACT

In trying to refute the argument of my article “The Social Implications of Freudian ‘Revisionism’” (DISSENT, Summer 1955), Erich Fromm has constructed a thesis which I did not state.1 Although his misinterpretation may

be to a great extent due to the fact that my book, Eros and Civilization, to which the article specifically referred, had not yet been published, I feel that a few corrections are in order.
