NEVĚDOMÝ DUCH, JEHO PROBUZENÍ NEBO NOVÉ ZROZENÍ? POZNÁMKY A OTÁZKY K LOGOTERAPII VIKTORA EMMANUELA FRANKLA

Logotherapy and its specification, existential analysis, is a therapeutic method for psychological difficulties and morbid states through searching for meaning in concrete situations of life. Any particular meaning can be overcome, however, in a larger or universal connection. Aware of this fact, Frankl rejects all psychologismes. He conceives psychology as a science, open to the spiritual dimensions of existence, and ultimately to transcendence. In this direction, logotherapy poses problems, but does not always provide satisfactory solutions. This paper would like to inquire whether the reason for this insufficiency does not lie in an inadequate concept of transcendence by Frankl.
