Ernest
Becker
was
an
academic
outcast
.
In
1960
,
he
got
his
Ph
.
D
.
in
anthropology
;
his
doctoral
research
compared
the
unlikely
and
unconventional
practices
of
Zen
Buddhism
and
psychoanalysis
.
At
the
time
,
Zen
was
seen
as
something
for
hippies
and
drug
addicts
,
and
Freudian
psychoanalysis
was
considered
a
quack
form
of
psychology
left
over
from
the
Stone
Age
.
In
his
first
job
as
an
assistant
professor
,
Becker
quickly
fell
into
a
crowd
that
denounced
the
practice
of
psychiatry
as
a
form
of
fascism
.
They
saw
the
practice
as
an
unscientific
form
of
oppression
against
the
weak
and
helpless
.
The
problem
was
that
Becker
s
boss
was
a
psychiatrist
.

So
it
was
kind
of
like
walking
into
your
first
job
and
proudly
comparing
your
boss
to
Hitler
.
As
you
can
imagine
,
he
was
fired
.
So
Becker
took
his
radical
ideas
somewhere
that
they
might
be
accepted
:
Berkeley
,
California
.
But
this
,
too
,
didn
t
last
long
.
Because
it
wasn
t
just
his
anti
-
establishment
tendencies
that
got
Becker
into
trouble
;
it
was
his
odd
teaching
methods
as
well
.
He
would
use
Shakespeare
to
teach
psychology
,
psychology
textbooks
to
teach
anthropology
,
and
anthropological
data
to
teach
sociology
.
He
d
dress
up
as
King
Lear
and
do
mock
sword
fights
in
class
and
go
on
long
political
rants
that
had
little
to
do
with
the
lesson
plan
.
His
students
adored
him
.
The
other
faculty
loathed
him
.
Less
than
a
year
later
,
he
was
fired
again
.

Becker
then
landed
at
San
Francisco
State
University
,
where
he
actually
kept
his
job
for
more
than
a
year
.
But
when
student
protests
erupted
over
the
Vietnam
War
,
the
university
called
in
the
National
Guard
and
things
got
violent
.
When
Becker
sided
with
the
students
and
publicly
condemned
the
actions
of
the
dean
(
again
,
his
boss
being
Hitleresque
and
everything
)
,
he
was
,
once
again
,
promptly
fired
.
Becker
changed
jobs
four
times
in
six
years
.
And
before
he
could
get
fired
from
the
fifth
,
he
got
colon
cancer
.
The
prognosis
was
grim
.
He
spent
the
next
few
years
bedridden
and
had
little
hope
of
surviving
.
So
Becker
decided
to
write
a
book
.
This
book
would
be
about
death
.
Becker
died
in
1974
.
