The Denial of Death

Ernest Becker's book, The Denial of Death, is paramount to understanding the human condition. Discussed previously in the old "blog," there is no need to rehash the subject. More relevant information is available from the Ernest Becker Foundation. Also, be sure to peruse the new Denial File.

Mission Statement: Established in 1993, the Ernest Becker Foundation advances understanding of how the unconscious denial of mortality profoundly influences human behavior. Ernest Becker laid the foundation for this work in his Pulitzer Prize-winning book The Denial of Death.
