Final Answer :
For May, the human dilemma is the idea that we can see ourselves both subjectively and objectively.For Fromm, the human dilemma was the idea that we are both separate from nature and we are aware of that separateness.Both concepts are similar in that they suggest that we can experience events both subjectively and objectively.They are both different however, in that Fromm's is more specific.
