Winner of the Pulitzer prize in 1974 The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker’s brilliant and impassioned answer to the ‘why’ of human existence. Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie – man’s refusal to acknowledge his own mortality and argues that human civilisation is a defence against the knowledge that we are mortal beings.
