This talk will be a biographical rumination on Freud’s relation to mortality, containing an exploration of his last months in London and incorporating his thinking and writings about
death over the years. Why did Freud continue to smoke cigars after his doctors warned him that it was ruinous to his health? What was his idea of a “heroic death”? How did his own
life experience reflect his radical thinking on death, and is it possible to truly accept one’s own mortality?
