Sontag, Frederick: The Return of the Gods

A Philosophical/Theological Reappraisal of the Writings of Ernest Becker. This book contains reference to a number of Sontag's earlier articles on Becker. Becker won the Pulitzer Prize for writing The Denial of Death. His psychological/anthropological writings examined human nature and its tendency to religion. He proposed a self-made «hero religion», but his critique of the assumptions of modern social science equally make possible a return to traditional forms of religion: the return of the Gods. 142 Seiten, gebunden (American University Studies. Series V: Philosophy; Vol. 78/Peter Lang Verlag 1989) Mängelexemplar/near mint
