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....

The Critical in Husserl's Phenomenology: the Levels of Constitution as a Question of Method
Ramírez Clavería, Camila Ignacia ; Novotný, Karel (advisor) ; Brudzinska, Jagna (referee)
The Critical in Husserl's Phenomenology: the Levels of Constitution as a Question of Method Considering the contemporary discussion between critical, applied and engaged phenomenology, there seems to be a claim for a critical stand when it comes to considering concrete experience and, moreover, those experiences that have been neglected throughout history. Thus, the present work has the aim to show that this movement is characterized by the need of a critical potential which is already present in Edmund Husserl's work. Moreover, this potential is considered here as a question related to the method, through which we gain access to the underlying structures of experience. Thus, the five levels described are the following: intersubjective community, interpersonal intersubjectivity, active constitution, passive synthesis and hyletic flow. According to this, the focus is set on showing the way in which they are always connected to one another allowing thus to describe the complexity through which experience is articulated. Key Words: Critical phenomenology, phenomenological method, levels of constitution, complexity of experience.
