Comment on Reflecting on Erich Fromm’s “To Have or To Be” by Terry Lesniak

One of my favorite quotes where Fromm speaks of creativity as letting go of one’s certainties, reminds me that personal visions should be developed through facts rather than facts being diluted by ones vision.

How wonderful for Steve. His music ability is a demonstrated talent, so his academic performance is not unexpected and shows another valued quality of his. My congrats to him and his family.
Both he and Alex are inductees this year. Makes their Grandpappy very proud.
Love and kisses Dad

I agree Pete: sometimes the best thing we can do as reviewers is to help the author get out from under the weight of their own knowledge and help them conenct to the interested reader who lacks that same depth but who wants to engage

Make clear conclusions that are useful to the reader. If your paper meets the needs of the reader it shall be widely read.

Mike: i dont see the reference above to “post-postpositivism” above, but if i said that it’s just fat fingers and bad eyes on my part. will check on the page reference you note as well. I like T&T also, they are definitely thought leaders. Thanks for the engagement!

I did find what I think are a couple of errors in the above content – one reference to different philosophical worldviews should (I think) be Creswell p.22 and not page 5 as mentioned. Also Creswell lists postpositivism as one of the world views (not post-postpositivism p22). I have and use Cresswell and also use Tashakorri and Teddlie (2009) “Foundations of Mixed Methods Research” profitably. In the later book I notice that the term “concurrent” appears to have been replaced with the word “parallel” to describe studies which run qualitative and quantitative data gathering and processing activities at the same time.

I like this article!
