THE ESSENCE OF MAN’S SEARCH FOR MEANING Viktor E. Frankl, one of the eminent psychiatrists of the twentieth century, in “The Man’s Search For Meaning” translated into over thirty languages and sold over fifteen million copies around the world, tells about the principals of logotherapy that he founded, accompanied by his experiences in a concentration camp during the second world war. Logotherapy is a psychologic treatment method, focusing on the future and based on insight. It is a kind of psychotherapy oriented to meaning and it deals with the meanings that client fills in the future. According to logotherapy, there are different three approaches to discovering the meaning of life. Making a production or doing a job is the first approach. It is clear that the first approach is the way to get acquisition, profession and expertise in any area. The second approach is to experience goodness, favor, kindness, truth and beauty as moral values; nature and culture as surroundings, and most importantly, to experience a person with their uniqueness and love them. The third approach is related to the attitude that we have towards suffering. In our lives, suffering is unavoidable, sometimes it has a solution or not. If there is nothing to suffer from, as long as suffering has a meaning, it is not important to struggle with and suffer from that. If the situation is otherwise, it is meaningless to suffer and in fact the most logical thing is to eliminate whatever the reason is. Logotherapy pays attention to meaning in people’s lives and provides insight. Three ways to understand the meaning of life is to acquire knowledge and skills in any area, to experience something such as favor, kindness, beauty, nature and love, and finally to grasp the essence of suffering. Man needs to have insight into what happens in his life and how it is understood. But the search of meaning changes from person to person. It can be responsibility, love and sense of belonging or more different thing. We should try to answer the question of what is the most vital in our lives and according to this answer, we should have an attitude. Bu kitabın analizini bir ödevim için makale şeklinde ve İngilizce olarak yazmıştım. İsterseniz çevirisini yazabilirim. Bunlara ek olarak bazı değinmek istediğim şeyler de var. Bu kitap bir insanın "Bu hayatta amacım ne?" "bu hayatı benim için anlamlı kılan şey nedir" gibi sorulara cevap arayanlara ilginç ve farklı bir bakış açısı katmak adına ideal bir eser. Psikoloji ve insanın ruh dünyasına ilgili biri olarak bu kitabın değindiği hususlar üzerine daha derin söylenebilecek şeyler olduğunu düşünüyorum, burada genel çerçevede ele aldım. Bir de şu var: İnsan bir muamma, sanki biz onu anlamaya çalıştıkça daha farklı, şaşırtıcı yönlerini karşımıza çıkartıyor. 4 Haziran 2023 Pazar 22:43
