"Death only really frightens me if I have the time to really, really think about it. If you took a blind and dumb organism and gave it self-consciousness and. But that doesn't stop Becker, who at every turn represents his own alchemy as scientifically proven. "… a brilliant, passionate synthesis of the human sciences which resurrects and revitalizes… the ideas of psychophilosophical geniuses…. Goodbye for the last time is hard and we both knew he would not live to see our conversation in print. I suggested that if everyone honestly admitted his urge to be a hero it would be a devastating release of truth. WHAT IS YOUR LEGACY? The Denial of Death straddles the line between astounding intellectual ambition and crackpot theorizing; it is a compendium of brilliant intellectual exercises that are more satisfying poetically than scientifically; it is a desperately self-oblivious and quasi-futile attempt to resurrect the ruins of Freudian psychoanalysis by re-defining certain parameters and ostensibly de-Freudianizing them; there is an unhealthy mixture of jaw-dropping recognition and eye-rolling recognition. I have a feeling that wouldn't be the case, though; Becker's book is written in a way that a non-psychology student like myself can understand relatively easily, but that doesn't mean it isn't insightful or professionally-written. Anything beyond missionary sex with the lights out is perversion.
In his Preface, he actually says that the "prospect of death... is the mainspring of human activity" (my italics). Non ridere, non lugere, neque detestari, sed intelligere. A discipline whose aim, as Becker puts it, is to show that man lives by lying to himself about himself, leaves you depressed, cynical, and pessimistic.

So man has to somehow distract himself from his realization of the horrific nature of the reality. His whole organism shouts the claims of his natural narcissism. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie -- man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. Blithely dismissing religious tradition and appealing to ideas of childhood imprinting and unconscious suppression as the primary drivers of adult thought and behavior, Becker's main thesis is that if only we could realize our deep-seated need for the heroic, if only we could know with certainty that our actions serve a purpose and will be recalled in time to come, then we wouldn't be so unsure or frightened in the face of death. Becker's philosophy as it emerges in Denial of Death and Escape from Evil is a braid woven from four strands. That difference is an outlet for creativity. The hero was the man who could go into the spirit world, the world of the dead, and return alive.

What else is a Pulitzer Prize? I don't want to live in the hearts of my countrymen; I want to live in my apartment. But each cultural system is a dramatization of earthly heroics; each system cuts out roles for performances of various degrees of heroism: from the "high" heroism of a Churchill, a Mao, or a Buddha, to the "low" heroism of the coal miner, the peasant, the simple priest; the plain, everyday, earthy heroism wrought by gnarled working hands guiding a family through hunger and disease.

The only way we can cope with life and especially our imminent death, is through repression of our real feelings, that is, our terrors. They earn this feeling by carving out a place in nature, by building an edifice that reflects human value: a temple, a cathedral, a totem pole, a skyscraper, a family that spans three generations. He points out where he thinks Freud went wrong, but he also salvages a lot of useful things from him. It doesn't matter whether the cultural hero-system is frankly magical, religious, and primitive or secular, scientific, and civilized. With intense clarity of vision he exposes us all as the frail mortal human beings that we are.
