Death in psychology




In the late XIX - early XX century, the belief in scientific knowledge of the world has reached apotheosis. Newest rationalism attempted to solve our phobias, motivation, emotions, etc. Do not just on the atoms. However, the initial euphoria gave way to gradual disappointment - it turned out, that death is not as hard as it said - it is much more complicated. In addition, a large number of schools and trends in psychology have made possible a unified treatment of the notion of death from the standpoint of the science.
