DATE CHANGED TO 24th APRIL!

The Denial of Death

Ernest Becker

(suggested by Kayan)

 

Winner of the Pulitzer prize in 1974 and the culmination of a life's work, The Denial of Death is Ernest Becker's brilliant and impassioned answer to the "why" of human existence. In bold contrast to the predominant Freudian school of thought, Becker tackles the problem of the vital lie -- man's refusal to acknowledge his own mortality. In doing so, he sheds new light on the nature of humanity and issues a call to life and its living that still resonates more than twenty years after its writing.

 

Where to meet
We will be meeting at Kingston Library, Fairfield Rd, KT1 2PS

Time

Please arrive at 18:25 for a 18:30 start sharp, so we can squeeze the most discussion out of the session :)

We will wrap up around 19:50 as the library needs us out by 20:00.

 

There will then be an option to go for a drink at a nearby pub if anyone is interested.

 

As always please feel free to contact me with any questions etc, or post on the group wall.
