symbolic immortality  

Définition(s)

  • The concept symbolic immortality was developed in the research conducted on survivors of the atomic bombing of Hiroshima, Japan. Robert J. Lifton theorized that humans have a basic and compelling need for mortality transcendence, and that the quest for a sense of continuity that extends farther than one's natural life is a universal phenomenon made possible by self-knowledge of the inescapability of death.
