{"product_id":"darwins-worms-isbn-9780465056767","title":"Darwin's Worms","description":"\u003cp\u003eAdam Phillips has been called \"the psychotherapist of the floating world\" and \"the closest thing we have to a philosopher of happiness.\" His style is epigrammatic; his intelligence, electric. His new book, Darwin's Worms, uses the biographical details of Darwin's and Freud's lives to examine endings-suffering, mortality, extinction, and death. Both Freud and Darwin were interested in how destruction conserves life. They took their inspiration from fossils or from half-remembered dreams. Each told a story that has altered our perception of our lives. For Darwin, Phillips explains, \"the story to tell was how species can drift towards extinction; for Freud, the story was how the individual tended to, and tended towards his own death.\" In each case, it is a death story that uniquely illuminates the life story.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44891849523429,"sku":"NP9780465056767","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/k12savings.com\/products\/darwins-worms-isbn-9780465056767","provider":"K12savings","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
