Abstracts

The aim of this article is to evaluate quasi‑religious elements in the humanist psychology with a special focus on Erich Fromm, Abraham Maslow and Carl Rogers. The study analyses concepts which may be denote as a secularized "humanist theology". It refers to the fact that the authors of those concepts were originally connected with the Jewish or Christian faith and after their apostasy they radically reinterpreted it or replaced it with a new religion. The humanist "cult of self‑worship" explicitly or implicitly locates godhood into man and at the same time excludes possibility of a personal relationship between man and God. The rise of this new religiosity connected with sacralised psychology was paradoxically made easy also by some forms of modern Jewish and Christian thinking.
