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\/body\u003e","brand":"Basic Books","offers":[{"title":"Darwin's Worms on Life Stories and Death Stories | Adam Phillips | Paperback | 9780465056767 | Used: Like New | Philosophy 1765070","offer_id":49369154060440,"sku":"1765070","price":8.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0492\/1609\/4360\/files\/61OWiO_biLL_b3f3c57f-154a-47c9-a53e-81aff0a6d17e.jpg?v=1782932528","url":"https:\/\/roundaboutbookstore.com\/products\/darwins-worms-on-life-stories-and-death-stories-73","provider":"Roundabout Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
