Denial of death. Beker E.

The book of an American psychologist and anthropologist Ernest Becker (1924–1974) “Denial of Death” (Pulitzer Prize, 1974) became classical work in the field of psychology and philosophy. Becker analyzes how the fear of death affects human life and behavior, relations with other people and society as a whole, and explains how the denial of death affects motivation and actions, and becomes a source of many problems and conflicts.

The author combines a huge spectrum of areas - from psychology and philosophy to religion and humanities, and is based on the work of Sern Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, Norman Brown and Otto Ranka.
