鶴田一郎氏著「V.E.フランクルにおける生きがい論の射程」を読んで

抄録

By studying V. E. Frankl's "nihilism" and "bad humanism", the author (Mr. Tsuruta) proposed in this paper the necessity and importance of transferring the meaning of essential value of worthwhile human life from "self realization" to "self transcendence". According to Tsuruta, to realize this transcendence, to acknowledge the existence of "god" or "absolute existence" is indispensable as V. E. Frankl had suggested. However, to become conscious of one's own value and meaning of one's existence, to acknowledge the real entity of universal life is more important. The human being or living organism of any kind can not live alone. Coexistence or symbiotic existence is essential for the life on the earth. By realizing the true entity and dignity of "life", we will be free from "nihilism" and "bad humanism", which are thought prevalent in modern community.
