In this dissertation the work of Erich Fromm is discussed as a metaphorically constituted response to the crisis of modernity. As a popular and suggestive writer Fromm's critique and Utopian vision provide an exceptional perspective to this discourse. The emphasis is on Fromm's "voice" or "presence".
