FREUD IN HIS MIDDLE PERIOD
do well to study this little known essay, in which the Reichian applecart
is overturned with one glancing blow. Another essay of special interest
at this time is "Our Attitude towards Death." Here it is asserted that
at bottom "no one believes in his own death, or to put the same thing
in another way, in the unconscious every one of us is convinced of his
own immortality." One wonders what students of Existentialism, and
particularly of Martin Heidegger's "phenomenology of death," would
make of this plain denial of our human readiness to confront death,
not as an idea, but as a certainty contributing to our effort to make
life authentic here and now?
