10th Panhellenic Conference on Philosophy
29-30 September 2017 in Cyprus University of Technology
"Man is alone and he is related at the same time. He is alone inasmuch as he is a unique entity, not identical with anyone else, and aware of his self as a separate entity. He must be alone when he has to judge or to make decisions solely by the power of his reason. And yet he cannot bear to be alone, to be unrelated to his fellow men. His happiness depends on the solidarity he feels with his fellow men, with past and future generations."
– Erich Fromm, Man for Himself: An Inquiry into the Psychology of Ethics.
