Escape from Evil - Book by Ernest Becker

In Escape from Evil, Ernest Becker argues that human beings seek to escape the fear and meaninglessness associated with mortality by creating social systems and ideologies. Becker examines the role of culture, religion, and violence in shaping human behavior, asserting that many of humanity's destructive tendencies are rooted in an unconscious desire to transcend death.
