Erich Fromm discusses activity as an important concept that has evolved in meaning over time - what used to point solely to actions of significance which are not alienated from the self (inner activity) in ancient times now points mainly to actions that are relatively insignificant and are alienated from the self (outward activity). This paper examines Fromm's argument in detail and proposes that the possibility of such a dual interpretation of the concept of activity may help to add depth to today's citizenship education efforts which tend to emphasize active citizenship as outward activity in both theory and practice.
