The Denial of Death
The Denial of Death by cultural anthropologist Ernest Becker explores the inherent human fear of mortality and its significant influence on human behavior. Appealing to both psychanalysis and philosophy, this Pulitzer-winning work delves into how the dread of death and the desire for immortality can shape cultural and individual phenomenon, arguing that this makes us susceptible to both heroic and destructive endeavors.Published in Dec 30, 1973
