Social Justice through Humanism: M.N. Roy and Erich Fromm

Dr. Naushaba Anjum

The word ‘humanism’ came into general use in 19th century however, the concept is as old as philosophy itself. In order to explain the concept of humanism it is important to state in brief what exactly is meant by humanism. All humanists are self-professedly committed to man. They stand for the actualization of human potentialities. They wish to contribute to human happiness, social justice, democracy and peaceful world-order. All of them believe that authoritarianism and totalitarianism is dehumanizing, all of them are sympathetic to human suffering and are committed to the unity of mankind.
