Abstract

This paper intends to identify the social and political implications of the spiritual dimension in Viktor Frank’s thoughts. Therefore, it was carried a literature review on Frankl’s main works. It was found that the sociopolitical dimension was indeed an object of his concerns. Moreover, this research demonstrates that his manuscripts can point out guidelines for understanding as well as elucidating conflicts developed at present. It also discusses the role of the community in the human dignity valorization as well as its relevance to overcome the massification and the depersonalization process.
