Víctor Frankl
Víctor Frankl was an Austrian neurologist, psychiatrist, and Holocaust survivor, best known for founding logotherapy, a form of existential analysis. His experiences in Nazi concentration camps during World War II profoundly shaped his understanding of the human spirit's resilience, which he articulated in his famous book 'Man's Search for Meaning.' Frankl argued that the primary drive in human beings is not pleasure (as suggested by Freud) or power (as suggested by Adler), but the pursuit of meaning. His work emphasizes the importance of finding purpose in life, especially in the face of suffering, and has influenced not only psychology but also philosophy and spirituality.
