Summary

Darwin and Freud, it seems, took God out of the big picture and left us in a world determined by nature and overshadowed by mortality. In this text the author considers how these giants of science felt about death, and develops a new understanding of ageing, loss - and the art of transience.

Darwin'S Worms by Adam Phillips

Loss is a permanent presence in all our lives. But is there too much suffering in the world - or just the right amount?Adam Phillips has been called the 'psychotherapist of the floating world' and 'the closest thing we have to a philosopher of happiness'. In his extraordinary new book he takes a look, via Freud and Darwin, at endings - at mortality, extinction and death.

Adam Phillips was formerly Principal Child Psychotherapist at Charing Cross Hospital in London. He is the author of, most recently, Darwin's Worms, Promises, Promises, Equals and Houdini's Box, and he is the Series Editor of the new Penguin Freud translations.
