Softcover. Etat : Fine. Leichte Rillen / Abschurfungen / Risse / Knicke. Ernest Becker (1924-1974) was a keen observer of society and human behavior during America's tumultuous 1960s and 1970s. With a background in social anthropology, he was driven by a deep curiosity about human motivations, persistently asking, "What makes people act the way they do?" Frustrated by the fragmented approaches of contemporary social sciences, Becker sought a comprehensive, empirical understanding of humanity. He developed an interdisciplinary vision where each discipline is rooted in a fundamental truth about the human condition, creating a broad perspective on human motivations that spans biological, psychological, and social sciences, as well as the humanities and various studies.Best known for his later works, including the Pulitzer Prize-winning "The Denial of Death" (1974) and "Escape from Evil" (1975), Becker's influential ideas were built upon a distinguished foundation of earlier writings. His early works, rich in insight, provide context for his later contributions and illuminate the evolution of his thoughts. Despite his life being cut short, Becker's writings remain in print, engaging new generations of readers. The Ernest Becker Reader compiles much of his early work, placing his later achievements in context and significantly contributing to the enduring interest in his ideas.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. Ernest Becker (1924-1974) was an astute observer of society and human behavior during America's turbulent 1960s and 1970s. Trained in social anthropology and driven by a transcending curiosity about human motivations, Becker doggedly pursued his basic research question, "What makes people act the way they do?" Dissatisfied with what he saw as narrowly fragmented methods in the contemporary social sciences and impelled by a belief that humankind more than ever needed a disciplined, rational, and empirically based understanding of itself, Becker slowly created a powerful interdisciplinary vision of the human sciences, one in which each discipline is rooted in a basic truth concerning the human condition. That truth became an integral part of Becker's emerging social science. Almost inadvertently, he outlined a perspective on human motivations that is perhaps the most broadly interdisciplinary to date. His perspective traverses not only the biological, psychological, and social sciences but also the humanities and educational, political, and religious studies.Ernest Becker is best known for the books written in the last few years before his death from cancer, including the highly praised Pulitzer Prize-winning volume The Denial of Death (1974) and Escape from Evil (1975). These late works, however, were built on a distinguished body of earlier books, essays, and reviews. The power and strength of Becker's ideas are fully present in his early works, which underlie his later contributions and give direction for interpreting the development of his ideas. Although Ernest Becker's life and career were cut short, his major writings have remained continually in print and have captured the interest of subsequent generations of readers. The Ernest Becker Reader makes available for the first time in one volume much of Becker's early work and thus places his later work in proper context. It is a major contribution to the ongoing interest in Becker's ideas. Ernest Becker (1924-1974) was an astute observer of society and human behavior during America's turbulent 1960s and 1970s.
