[Avodah] fear of death

[Rich, Joel]

Sheldon Solomon is a social psychologist at Skidmore College. He earned his B.A. from Franklin and Marshall College and his doctoral degree from the University of Kansas. He is best known for developing terror management theory, along with Jeff Greenberg and Tom Pyszczynski which is concerned with how humans deal with their own sense of mortality
Sheldon Solomon - "I feel like there's a real sense in which doing these studies and writing books and lecturing has been my way of avoiding directly confronting my anxieties by turning it (me - fear of death) into an intellectual exercise" [Me - sounds like it could've been said by R'Chaim]

Is this a common approach in orthodox circles
