Waar gaat het over?
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 and the culmination of a lifes work, the Denial of Death is Ernest Beckers brilliant and impassioned answer to the why of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie - mans refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. the book argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings. Becker states that humans live in both the physical world and a symbolic world of meaning, which is where our immortality project resides. We create in order to become immortal - to become part of something we believe will last forever. In this way we hope to give our lives meaning. In the Denial of Death, Becker sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates decades after it was written.
