“The Denial of Death” by Ernest Becker
[ send me this paper ]
This is a 7 page paper discussing Ernest Becker’s text “The Denial of Death”. Ernest Becker’s 1973 text “The Denial of Death” puts forth the premise that man’s preoccupation with his own mortality forces him to repress this possibility and in doing so adopts a belief system in order to be accepted into an “immortality system” for support and for the belief that life exists beyond current perception. For those people who are overly consumed by death and are unable to form a belief or a level of acceptance, they are victim to neurosis or mental illness. Others who accept death and are able to live successfully with the knowledge and acceptance of their eventual outcome can be considered heroic. Because the denial of death is responsible for the formation of cultures, scientific processes should not be used to influence this psychological process because man truly does know little about the ultimate foundations of life.
