The Forgotten Language

Methodology and Conclusions

In «The Forgotten Language», Erich Fromm employs a psychoanalytic approach to study the symbolic language of dreams, myths, and fairy tales. He views symbols as universal elements of the human psyche that help express deep emotional and psychological states. Fromm analyzes various cultural and historical contexts to show how symbols reflect common human experiences and aspirations. The main conclusion of the book is that understanding symbolic language can lead to deeper self-awareness and recognition of the collective archetypes that influence human behavior and thinking. Fromm underscores the importance of reconnecting with this language to achieve a more harmonious and conscious existence.
