Philosophical and anthropological notions of Viktor Frankl: experience of historical reconstruction

The article deals with historical reconstruction of philosophical and anthropological theories, which substantiate Viktor Frankl’s logotherapy system. Methodological foundations of the research are theoretical conceptions of philosophical anthropology in its broadest understanding and conceptual methods of platonism and aristote-lianism. For the correct reconstruction of V. Frankl's system of philosophical and anthropological ideas the author reviewed concepts of essence, existence, meaning of life and actual problems of human being. Description of the philosophical and anthropological ideas of V. Frankl in the discourse of platonic and aristotelic traditions unites human nature and human existence in ontological dyad, and the meaning of life and actual problems of human being in axiological dyad. V. Frankl's perception of ontological dyad give reasons to perceive him as «savior of Platonism» in situation of empiricism and scientism dominance in philosophical anthropology (in the tradition of Descartes - Kant's - Husserl's). V. Frankl’s analysis of axiological dyad follows the idea M. Scheler’s axiological ontologism and foresees G. Deleuze's immanent and event-related understanding of meaning. According to V. Frankl's anthropology the orthogonal and holistic understanding of human nature and existence of human being form the basis for the intentional and spiritual way to the realization of actual problems and human destiny. Integral result of V. Frankl's anthropology is an image of Homo noeticus as a human of secular spirituality. As a result, predominant concepts of aristotelianism in V. Frankl’s anthropology complemented with platonic spiritual dimension of human being. In general V. Frankl provides synthesis of scientific and philosophical understanding of human being which is potentially compatible with religious anthropology. V. Frankl's synthesis of platonism and aristotelianism corresponds with «aristotelic turn» of nonclassical philosophy and potentially may be efficient for understanding peculiarities of human existence realization in the world of convergent technologies.
