The famous Viennese medic-philosopher believed that besides sexuality and death, the personal religiosity is the third basic existential phenomena, which must be concealed in public, and must be taken care and execute in the man’s private sphere. But the master who thought and teached seriously the meaning of life was basically a religious and God believing human. These signs are searched and revealed by this comprehensive work. The first part the approach is made by the help of few biographical moments of the world-famous psychiatrist’s life and along of the main lines of his particular religious-philosophy.
