DESCRIPTION OF THE EVENT:
 

The current stage is a conclusion of the discussion about Erich Fromm's thesis:

The awareness of human separation, without reunion by love—is the source of shame.It is at the same time the source of guilt and anxiety.The deepest need of man, then, is the need to overcome his separateness, to leave the prison of his aloneness.The absolute failure to achieve this aim means insanity, because the panic of complete isolation can be overcome only by such a radical withdrawal from the world outside that the feeling of separation disappears—because the world outside, from which one is separated, has disappeared.” (E. Fromm, „The Art of Loving”)

The organic perspective connected with primal social instincts versus contemporary cultural codes is considered to be a starting point.
