Abstract

This article aims to identify the relevance and implications of spirituality and resilience in the thought of Viktor Frankl. Therefore, based on the author’s principal works, a literature review was conducted about this theme. It was found that in the Franklian conception, the spiritual or noological dimension is the focal point between these two instances and that Frankl’s own life is a reference for understanding resilience as a “human spirit’s resistance."
