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":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51929757614368,"sku":"NEW0465056768","price":14.36,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/darwins-worms-on-life-stories-and-death-stories-0465056768","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
