A Philosophical Discussion about Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning

Viktor Frankl's "Man's Search for Meaning" is one the classic books about survival. Frankl, who died in 1997, was a survivor of Nazi Concentration camps. When he was liberated from the camps, he had lost everything, including his parents and his young wife. Yet, Frankl, who had been exposed to powerfully practical philosophical ideas in his youth, was able to endure such tragic circumstances with a powerful message for humanity. In this show, we discuss the wisdom of Frankl's message and the importance of it for all human beings, no matter what their age and circumstance. We focus on the afterword of Frankl's book entitled "The Case for a Tragic Optimism" and will be joined by a special guest, Paul Buscarello, who read Frankl's book as a high school student.
