Abstract

The present paper aimed to research a central point on the Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl’s work: what is meant by the expression “meaning of life”. We believe that the mentioned issue constitutes the cornerstone of Logotherapy world view. It’s also our point showing how decisive that category is for a proper understanding of the author’s thought. Our logic path led us to a discussion over the objective quality of meaning and its relation to the origins of values. At last, we stand for the existence of a world founded by meaning in Logotherapy theory. Keywords: Viktor Frankl; logotherapy; meaning of life.
