Volume 1: The Future of Evil
Sam Keen is the best-selling author of Fire in the Belly, as well as co-producer of the award winning PBS documentary, Faces of the Enemy. His work was the subject of a 60 minute PBS special Bill Moyers – Your Mythic Journey with Sam Keen.
Keen was also one of the last people to speak with Ernest Becker, who was in the final stages of a battle with terminal cancer.
The result was an extraordinary deathbed interview -- published in Psychology Today.
Now, after more than 30 years, Keen revisits that talk and reveals how his assessment of Becker's work has evolved in the ensuing decades.
Questioning the foundation of Becker's theories, Keen offers a more hopeful prognosis of the human condition -- while paying homage to Becker's work and mission.
This book provides not only one of the finest brief introductions to Becker's thought available, but is also a fascinating meditation on life and death. In it, Keen maintains his position as one of our pre-eminent philosophers by offering a breathtaking prescription for the human malady. Introduction by Chad Gracia.
