dc.description.abstractDr. R. Michael Fisher, founder and Director of The Fearology Institute takes on the topic of "Why so much resistance to better understanding fear (and fearology)?" He introduces Terror Management Theory (TMT ; see Wikipedia) as providing an existentialist explanation for resistance to fear (and death fear). He reads quotes from Bonaro Overstreet on fear from the 1950s as one of the best books available on the topic and from TMT in Sedikides et al. (2004) chapter "Nostalgia: Conceptual Issues and Existential Functions" in J. Greenberg et al. (Eds.), "Handbook of Experimental Existential Psychology."
