Abstract

Neste artigo, procurou-se investigar um ponto central na obra do psiquiatra austríaco, criador da Logoterapia, Viktor Frankl: o conceito de "vontade de sentido". Em nosso entendimento, o tema concerne fundamentalmente à visão de homem que alicerça a referida escola psicológica, constituindo uma categoria chave para uma compreensão mais adequada do pensamento do autor. O traçado lógico do artigo busca relacionar essa categoria à explicitação do caráter autotranscendente da existência humana. Por fi m, o texto foi articulado conclusivamente para defender um descentramento do indivíduo em favor do sentido.Cet article examine un point central dans l´oeuvre du psychiatre autrichien Viktor Frankl, créateur de la Logothérapie: le concept "volonté des sens". Il nous semble que ce thème constitue la base d´une visée anthropologique de la Logothérapie et que cette catégorie est bien caracteristique de la pensée de l’auteur. Le parcours développé ici a mené a une discussion sur l´individu-transcendante comme une qualité de l’existence humaine. Bref, on arrive à conclure qu´il existe une transposition de l’individu vers le sens d´après la Logothérapie.The present paper aims to investigate a central point in the opus of Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl: the "will to meaning" concept. We believe that this concept constitutes the cornerstone of the anthropological view of Logotherapy. We also aim at showing how decisive that category is for a proper understanding of the author’s thought. Our logic path has led us to a discussion over the selftranscendent quality of human existence and its relation to the will to meaning. Finally, we stand for the existence of a transposition of the individual in behalf of meaning in Logotherapy theory.
