The culmination of his life's work, "The Denial of Death is renowned anthropologist Ernest Becker's inspiring and revolutionary answer to the "why" of human existence. In Becker's daring and convincing challenge to the classic Freudian school of thought, he sees his fellow humans as constant fighters, struggling against inherent ambiguities in themselves and in the world, while trying to define themselves and to achieve immortality. Becker sees the denial of death as man's driving force to distinguish himself beyond the grave. This ground breaking work is now reissued to take its rightful place on the shelf with our most influential works on man's interior existence. Minimize

I deny, therefore I exist

by a-s-d , Jan 11, 2006

Pros: Profound, accessible, provocative, backed by recent empirical research (Terror Management Theory)

Cons: Some theoretical gaps e.g. homosexuality, paleoanthropology

The Bottom Line: An understanding of Becker's work will bring poignant and difficult, but hopefully positive, insights.

Review: The terror of mortality and the avoidance of this reality is an unconscious and, until recently, largely unexamined element of human psychology and cultural meaning. This knowledge does not necessarily correspond to a belief in personal oblivion; but ...

life changing Pulitzer Prize winner. A True Masterpiece

by anthonyt , Dec 19, 2003

Pros: The book's ambition, honesty, clarity, and erudition make it truly great.

Cons: A lack of empirical evidence to back up his thesis. Outdated analysis on mental illness.

Review: "The Denial of Death," which won the Pulitzer prize in 1974 was written as the author, Ernest Becker, was dying of cancer. This specter is in the background of every word he writes here, and I think, forces the author to confront death with an ...
