In this study, the author considers, from his methodoontological point of view, the concept of mental health, which is increasingly used nowadays. This is done along the lines of Erich Fromm in Chapter VII of the book Beyond the Chains of Illusion (1962), which is titled The Concept of Mental Health. In that part of the book he only talks about Marx, who considers a healthy person to be productive and one who is genuinely interested in the world, while for Freud, only a primitive man could be called healthy. In addition to all the important works of Marx and Freud, as well as this work by Fromm, special attention will be paid to his other works, such as The Sane Society (1955), The Art of Love (1956), as well as the works of Herbert Marcuse, especially the work published in the same year (1955) as Fromm’s The Sane Society, namely, Eros and Civilization
