Flight From Death – Mere Survival; and Flight Into Death – Suicide (IN: Between Survival and Suicide, ed. by Benjamin B Wolman and Herbert H Krauss)

Flight from death & flight into death are both said to be ways of evading the full unfolding of human existence. This wide-ranging discussion concludes that isolation from other human beings plays an important role in the predisposition to suicide. Fleeing from death is a partial suicide & always precedes completed suicide. This view is said to be significant for humanity as a whole through the dominion of technology which constricts & reduces human existence & possibilities. 15 Refs. (LH)
