Dennis’s Reviews > The Denial of Death > Status Update

Many ideas are new to me, requiring very attentive reading. Becker addresses man's psychology in its function as a bulwark against death anxiety. Through a psychoanalytic lens, for now, light is shed on the early contradiction that children have to contend with: being themselves deeply symbolic creatures, whilst at the same time bodily limited and subject to death. Bear with me as I crawl through this book.
