Viktor Frankl: Logotherapy and Humanity's Search for Meaning

In this video we explore the school of thought founded by Viktor Frankl called logotherapy, which claims that the primary motivation of humans is to actualize meaning in their life. We do so by exploring his famous work Man's Search for Meaning. =================================================== Support us on Patreon: https://patreon.com/academyofideas Recommended Readings: Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - http://amzn.to/2a9aHPU (affiliate link) Prisoners of Out Thoughts: Viktor Frankl's Principles for Discovering Meaning in Life and Work by Alex Pattakos - http://amzn.to/2asT5hM (affiliate link) The Unheard Cry for Meaning by Viktor Frankl - http://amzn.to/2a2Bgk5 (affiliate link) The Will to Meaning by Viktor Frankl - http://amzn.to/2a2BmIw (affiliate link) The Will to Meaning by Viktor Frankl - http://amzn.to/2a2BmIw (affiliate link) The Doctor and the Soul by Viktor Frankl - http://amzn.to/2aeYx5Q (affiliate link) Get the transcript http://academyofideas.com/2016/07/viktor-frankl-logotherapy-mans-search-for-meaning/ =================================================== --- Learn more about your ad choices.

Socrates: The Socratic Enigma

In this lecture we investigate what is known as the Socratic problem, which is the problem as to whether we can arrive at knowledge of the historical Socrates, or whether he will always remain nothing but a work of fiction. We also look at the Socrates of Plato's dialogues, and consider the question as to whether Plato was using Socrates as a mouthpiece for his own views, or espousing the actual ideas of the real Socrates. =================================================== Support us on Patreon: http://patreon.com/academyofideas Recommended Readings: Socrates A Life Examined - Luis Navia - http://amzn.to/1TKy3HZ (affiliate link) For more videos, video transcripts, and more, visit: http://academyofideas.com/ =================================================== --- Learn more about your ad choices.
