The Return of the Gods: A Philosophical / Theological Reappraisal of the Writings of Ernest Becker


Overview

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.
