The newly published book Salvation beyond Illusion—On the Hominology of Erich Fromm and Literature（2014） by Professor Fang Xingfu makes a clear, but comprehensive and systematic survey of modern American thinker Erich Fromm＇s complicated theory of Hominology. It sketches the relationship of Fromm＇s theory with those of Sigmund Freud and Karl Marx, and makes a meticulous exploration of Fromm＇s study on alienation of human beings in modern western society from 3 aspects—phenomena, causes and solutions. In his monograph, the author cites numerous literary works to demonstrate the potentially interactive relationship between Fromm＇s theory and literature. The book is a valuable guide for readers to a better understanding of Erich Fromm＇s theory of Hominology.
