Thank you so much for this video. But what a beautiful thing this is
-
It will be interesting to see how the ideas of Becker and his ilk interact with the ideas of the 'immortalists' and 'transhumanists' among us, such as Ray Kurzweil.
-
Ernest Becker's works never cease to amaze me. I read 'Denial of Death' a few years back, and it was powerful then. But, after my 30 year old brother died suddenly and unexpectedly in 2007, I had a chance to revisit his work again, and it was that much more moving and powerful. I feel like a better human being just from reading his works and researching similar thought processes etc.
I believe that Becker's works will come to the foreground of society as time passes...great mind.

4:11 fantastic.

I read him as a teenager and the impact has never left, I still see through his eyes a lot of the time
-
"He thought with his life." - Words to live by. Love Keen, can't wait to save up enough money for a couple of Becker books I want.

Many thanks for posting this vid.

I read his book; it really is quite brilliant.

Becker's "The Birth and Death of Meaning" was one of the most brilliant books I have ever read. I read it in college, 36 years ago. Now I've picked it up again, and his intellect blows my mind. He had amazing insight into human nature.
