Abstract
This paper
discusses the notion of mental health
from the perspective of the social context in which such a notion has to exist,
and has to be fostered or otherwise, by that key social activity in a democracy
that is education. In particular, it considers this topic by way of reviewing a
thoroughgoing analysis of ‘society and sanity’ presented over a half century
ago by Erich Fromm in his The Sane
Society. The links to and an implications for a PCP understanding of mental
health in the light of the ideas of Fromm and some later thinkers are
discussed.
Keywords: Erich Fromm, mental health, democracy, education, PCP
