Cogito Ergo Podcast

S1E11. The Denial of Death (Becker, Heidegger, Nishitani, Spira)


Listen Later

In the season finale of Cogito Ergo Podcast, we confront the one truth we spend our lives trying to avoid: our own mortality.

Drawing on Ernest Becker’s The Denial of Death, as well as insights from Heidegger, Nishitani, and Rupert Spira, we explore how our fear of death shapes our cultures, beliefs, and identities—and how, by facing this fear, we can begin to live more authentically.

What happens when the illusions fall away? And how do we live once we’ve awakened to the truth?
