Death
The module is based on Ernest Becker’s book, Denial of Death, and is an exploration of the subject of death from a psychoanalytical perspective: that the fear of death must be present behind all our normal functioning in order for the organism to be armed towards self-preservation.
The book doesn’t endeavor to offer solutions to the problem of death. However, there is a gentle advice to practice dying – to cultivate an awareness and self-analysis of our eventual demise. By doing so, we discover new possibilities of choice and action, and new forms of courage and endurance.
