Ernest Becker Quotes
Psychology Narrows The Cause For Personal Unhappiness Down To The Person Himself, And Then He Is Stuck With Himself. But We Know That The Universal And General Cause For Personal Badness, Guilt, And Inferiority Is The Natural World And The Person's Relationship To It As A Symbolic Animal Who Must Find A Secure Place In It. All The Analysis In The World Doesn't Allow The Person To Find Out Who He Is And Why He Is Here On Earth, Why He Has To Die, And How He Can Make His Life A Triumph. It Is When Psychology Pretends To Do This, When It Offers Itself As A Full Explanation Of Human Unhappiness, That It Becomes A Fraud That Makes The Situation Of Modern Man On Impasse From Which He Cannot Escape.
