Autobiography and questions of gender
Darwin's realization that much of the earth's surface is the product of earthworm excrement and Freud's antipathy to biography prompt Phillips' elegant, dense discussion on mortality and freedom. Discussions of such things as Freud's death instinct tend to lose me, and at times that was the case here. But Phillips' formulation of the two thinkers projects is probably as clearly stated as they can be and invigorating in their conclusions about nature and our place in it.
A quote: "For both Darwin and Freud the idea of death saves us from the idea that there is anything to be saved from. If we are not fallen creatures, but simply creatures, we cannot be redeemed. If we are not deluded by the wish for immortality, transience doesn't diminish us."
A good book to read alongside Julian Barnes' Nothing to be Frightened Of.
