Dr. Ernest Becker (September 27, 1924, Massachusetts - March 6, 1974, Vancouver, British Columbia) was a cultural anthropologist and interdisciplinary scientific thinker and writer.
Becker was born in Springfield, Massachusetts to Jewish immigrant parents. After completing military service, in which he served in the infantry and helped to liberate a Nazi concentration camp, he attended Syracuse University in New York. Upon graduation he joined the US Embassy in Paris as an administrative officer. In his early 30s, he returned to Syracuse University to pursue graduate studies in cultural anthropology. He completed his Ph.D. in 1960. The first of his nine books, Zen, A Rational Critique (1961) was based on his doctoral dissertation. After Syracuse, he became a professor at Simon Fraser University in Vancouver, BC (Canada).
Becker came to the recognition that psychological inquiry inevitably comes to a dead end beyond which belief systems must be invoked to satisfy the human psyche. The reach of such a perspective consequently encompasses science and religion, even to what Sam Keen suggests is Becker's greatest achievement, the creation of the "science of evil." In formulating his theories Becker drew on the work of Soren Kierkegaard, Sigmund Freud, Wilhelm Reich, Norman O. Brown, Erich Fromm, and especially Otto Rank. Becker came to believe that a person's character is essentially formed around the process of denying his own mortality, that this denial is necessary for the person to function in the world, and that this character-armor prevents genuine self-knowledge. Much of the evil in the world, he believed, was a consequence of this need to deny death.
Because of his breadth of vision and avoidance of social science specialization, Becker was an academic outcast in the last decade of his life. It was only with the award of the Pulitzer Prize in 1974 for his 1973 book, The Denial of Death (two months after his own death from cancer at the age of 49) that he gained wider recognition. Escape From Evil (1975) was intended as a significant extension of the line of reasoning begun in Denial of Death, developing the social and cultural implications of the concepts explored in the earlier book. Although the manuscript's second half was left unfinished at the time of his death, it was completed from what manuscript existed as well as from notes on the unfinished chapter.
The Ernest Becker Foundation [1] is devoted to multidisciplinary inquiries into human behavior, with a particular focus on contributing to the reduction of violence in human society, using Becker's basic ideas to support research and application at the interfaces of science, the humanities, social action and religion.

Becker also wrote The Birth and Death of Meaning which gets its title from the concept of man moving away from the simple minded ape into a world of symbols and illusions, and then deconstructing those illusions through his own evolving intellect.
Flight From Death (2006) is a documentary film directed by Patrick Shen, based on Becker's work, and partially funded by the Ernest Becker Foundation

道理横铺面大,观点也立体深刻,就是读起来比较吃力,消化比较缓慢。这种书可能都是这样吧,需要花个半年时间慢慢啃食,隔几年重新读又会有新的营养。

看的pdf 每每自己没看懂的就给了低分,这样是不是不好。。再读再读

引起我强烈共鸣的是导言…越到后面就越艰涩难懂。我想原著语言也许难,但翻译也应该是个问题。有空还是看看原著吧。大概就能知道是谁的问题了~

伟大的作品!如果你为怎么活着才有意义?这一问题苦恼,那一定得细细读一读。我看此书看了一个月,每天8小时全用上,有重获新生的感觉。

深入浅出地介绍了死亡恐惧和英雄主义的关系 理清了宗教和死亡恐惧的联系 看得出冯老师的书主要是以此为鉴

弗洛伊德认为,与其说人是群居动物,倒不如说,人是被部落首领领导的一种游牧动物。 承认真实的世界太可怕了,它使人感到自己是一个渺小的、战战兢兢的动物,终会衰亡和死去。 其实本书看完不太懂,但是里面分析了很多人类社会的很多现象为什么存在的一些道理和原因,算是稍微有所收获吧,里面很多话绕来绕去,很难搞清楚说的是什么,也许是我自己太肤浅了吧。

人的一生,不论做任何事情,都是出于被死亡的反抗而驱使行动的。不论是做自己的英雄,还是寻找能依靠的“上帝”。

译文有些地方译的太学术太繁琐,没有原文那么简明通透,可能是先读了原文所以再读译本没那么惊艳。任何书的序都是令人难以忍受的,这本也是。事实上,我不理解序的存在有什么意义(此处特指把核心观点透露出来的序)。我看书是为了自己发现乐趣,你像高中阅读理解一样把书分析个遍,我还读啥啊?喧宾夺主的。
