Religia jako radykalne dążenie do sensu w logoterapii Viktora E. Frankla
Meaning and God. Religion in Viktor E. Frankl’s Logotherapy

Summary/Abstract: Today the question of meaning is not only one of the greatest themes in philosophy, but also in modern literature and art as well as in psychology. Viktor E. Frankl has founded a therapeutic direction called logotherapy within the framework of meaning oriented psychotherapy. The question of the meaning of existence in logotherapy includes the question of God. According to Frankl, God is one way to make life meaningful. Man is ultimately responsible for the meaning of his life before God. In the spiritual unconsciousness of man there is a hidden possibility to develop a relation with God. Frankl calls it „the unconscious God”. People who are going through a life crisis have a better chance of surviving if they believe in God. Frankl says that not only psychiatrists, but every doctor is obliged to assist patients with spiritual help.
