Erich Fromm’s The Art of Loving reframes love as an art requiring knowledge and practice rather than a mere emotion. It explores defining elements of love and critiques the commodification of relationships in capitalist societies. Despite its limitations regarding gender and contemporary forms of love, it remains a pivotal work linking personal and social transformation.
