Abstract

This paper analyzes and compares the views of Karl Marx and Erich Fromm on human nature and examines their implications for contemporary education in Vietnam. Marx emphasizes the role of social relations, labor, and the process of overcoming alienation in shaping human development. Fromm extends this perspective by highlighting existential needs, inner freedom, and the development of creative individuality. By synthesizing these perspectives, the study proposes an educational approach that integrates social practice with humanistic values, aiming to foster autonomy, creativity, and social responsibility. The findings contribute to rethinking educational reform in Vietnam in the context of globalization and digital transformation.
