One of these assumptions stresses the importance of addressing societal demands and inequalities to find genuine meaning. Let’s delve deeper into this assumption.
Unlike other philosophical and psychological theories that take a universal approach to existential questions, Logotherapy brings the search for meaning to the forefront of everyday human existence. Frankl believed that confronting societal disparities and injustices in the present moment is a way to bring genuine meaning to life.
According to Frankl’s theory, it is important to seek meaning in everyday situations instead of waiting for a grand purpose to emerge. By actively promoting justice, equality, and support for the vulnerable, he proposed that we can contribute positively to society and find meaning. This principle can also be applied practically by professionals in organisations.
Organisations can prioritise ethical practices such as fair wages, diversity and inclusion, and sustainability to address societal inequalities. Furthermore, organisations that stand against injustice and inequity can foster loyalty and a shared purpose.
Frankl’s Logotherapy is not limited to the workplace. Every individual can find opportunities to champion justice, speak out against inequalities, and stand with the vulnerable.
Frankl’s Logotherapy reminds us that life’s meaning is sometimes found in the brief moments when we choose to engage to make a difference. By seizing these moments we can also find greater meaning in our own lives.
