Kto bol ERNEST BECKER?
"A profound, nourishing book ... absolutely essential to the understanding of our troubled times."
—Anais Nin
“An urgent essay that bears all the marks of a final philosophical raging against the dying of the light.”
—Newsweek
“Brilliant and challenging ... adds another bit of reason to balance destruction. ... It is, in the best sense of the words, both scientific and philosophical. ... of the highest importance."
—Robert Kirsch, The Los Angeles Times
“The author's presence—high on ideas, bold and disorderly, outrageous and appreciative, always in search—has an exhilarating effect. . . . Again he displays his extraordinary synthetic gift as he moves freely, even dazzlingly, not only from Freud to Marx and from Rank to Brown, but from Rousseau to Hobbes, Huizinga, Mumford, Hugh Duncan and Kenneth Burke.... Becker’s work should give powerful impetus to the development of a depth psychology appropriate to our condition and our history, but with significance beyond the historical moment. ... Future social theory will owe much to
Becker, as does contemporary psychological thought----The power of the work prevails."
—Robert Jay Lifton, The New York Times Book Review
