HUMAN'S SPIRITUAL CRISIS AND THE EXISTENTIAL VACUUM
HUMAN'S SPIRITUAL CRISIS AND THE EXISTENTIAL VACUUM

Summary/Abstract: The human being is constantly in search of meaning: the meaning of his life, the meaning of everyday events and, above all, the meaning of suffering. The process of secularization affects the process of finding the meaning of life, by eliminating the spiritual dimension of man, and the consequences, as Mircea Eliade, Carl Gustav Jung or Viktor Frankl pointed out, are disastrous, all leading to the alienation of man and the possibility of self-destruction. The transdisciplinary approach is used in this article in relation to the possibility of recovering this meaning. Taking into account the spiritual dimension of man, as well as democracy, understood in the Community spirit, could be a viable solution against the "existential void" caused by the loss of meaning of this life.
