Philosophical-phenomenological Embedding of Viktor E. Frankl's logotherapy and existential analysis
Gräff, Thérèse Laetitia Marie Josephe ; Sepp, Hans Rainer (advisor) ; Schmiedl-Neuburg, Hilmar (referee)
The present work deals with the philosophical roots and a philosophical embedding of logotherapy and existential analysis, a meaning-centered therapy, which was founded in the 20th century by Viktor Frankl. In the first chapter, the terms logotherapy, existential analysis and phenomenological analysis that are central to the form of therapy will be defined and the areas of application and tasks of this therapy presented. The second chapter presents the topic of existence. For this purpose, the understanding of existence in existential analysis will first be dealt with and central concepts such as transcendence, freedom, responsibility and the questions of life in relation to them explained. In a second part of the chapter, the philosophical justification will be based on the philosophy of Martin Heidegger; here the same terms will now be related to his understanding of ek-sistence and Dasein. The third chapter is devoted to the logotherapeutic dimensionalontology. In a first section, this ontology will be brought closer to its therapeutic context and in a second part, the philosophical reference will be made on the basis of Max Scheler's philosophy: here, in particular, terms such as person, Geist, the dimensional differences in humans and the ability to Gegenstandsfähigkeit will be focussed upon....

An attempt at an ontological critique of Wilhelm Dilthey's conception of resistance The starting point of the paper is Wilhelm Dilthey's conception of resistance as a pre-reflective experience of separation of the Self and the outer world. This emerges in the very early (prenatal) stages of ontogenesis and forms the basis of our belief in the reality of outer world. We try to explicate Dilthey's insights more precisely by pursuing the interpretation of his conception by other authors, confronting it with a phenomenological approach and reflecting on the possibilities of ontological grounding of the term. Dilthey's analysis of resistance met with explicit responses from Martin Heidegger and Max Scheler, and became one of the main topics of a debate between them, triggered by Scheler's response to Being and Time. Heidegger rejects Dilthey's concept of resistance, claiming that resistance is characteristic of an ontic entity, but it never characterizes the world in the ontological sense. Resistance always presupposes the disclosure of the world, and also disclosed is that which our will or instinct aim for. A key role here is played by the existential structure of Sorge. Scheler revises Dilthey's original concept and purifies it from some untenable ontic characteristics (e.g. resistance as a content...

An Essence of Human in the Philosophical Anthropology of Max Scheler
KOHOUT, Petr
My bachelor{\crq}s thesis is engaged in philosophical anthropology of Max Scheler, concretely in his human{\crq}s conception. I try to demonstrate an essence of human and differences among human, animals and plants according to Max Scheler. The text is divided into five parts. The first one addresses the biography of Max Scheler. It includes his pieces and minds. The second part nears five ways of views of the human in the past in Occident. The third part deals with mental side of life of human, animals and plants. The fourth part is devoted to essence of human differing from other animated nature. The fifth part solves the human{\crq}s constitution. The conclusion summarises the entire finding knowledge.
