Ethical Paradoxes of Belief Systems: Viktor Frankl’s Approach

Keisuke Noda, The International Forum for Logotherapy: Journal of Search for Meaning, Vol. 45, No. 2 (2022), pp. 93–113

Abstract

While belief systems may have positive effects for some, they can also negatively affect human life. Although belief systems promote values and meaning, they may also drive believers to exclude, dehumanize, or even harm those who challenge their authority. This essay examines the paradoxes inherent in certain belief systems and argues that Viktor Frankl’s multidimensional approach—especially his emphasis on lived values and individual responsibility—offers a path toward resolving these ethical conflicts.

Viktor Frankl’s Hermeneutic Space and Belief Systems

Conference Presentation. The 24th World Congress of the Viktor Frankl Institute of Logotherapy, October 19–21, 2023

This paper extends Frankl’s multidimensional philosophy into a hermeneutic framework for understanding belief systems. It explores how meaning, truth, and responsibility emerge within the interpretive space of the individual, and how rigid belief structures can distort this space. The presentation situates Frankl’s thought as a resource for addressing contemporary ethical and religious conflicts.
