9.99 €
One of the most important books in the legacy of Viktor Frankl, an outstanding psychiatrist and psychologist of the 20th century, the creator of logotherapy (therapy with meaning). For this book, Frankl received a doctorate, it was credited as a dissertation.
In this book, the author puts forward his theory of the "structure" of man, the levels of his being, including that very spiritual beginning. This idea helps to perceive the complex phenomenon of man in a holistic way and helps to understand his nature. Frankl calls conscience, irrational and intuitive by nature, "the subconscious god". Conscience and responsibility are inherent in both religious and non-religious people. The difference is in the different answers to the question of to whom a person is responsible for realizing the meaning of his life. For a religious person, this final authority is God, this is his interlocutor in an internal dialogue, to whom the most secret thoughts are addressed in the most difficult times, God is essentially a personalized conscience. It is not necessary to belong to any particular denomination and somehow adjust your personal conscience and faith to the requirements of a particular religion.
Like all of Viktor Frankl's works, "The Subconscious God" is about the meaning of life, and conscience is the beacon that helps determine the meaning and find the right solution in any particular life situation.
