Approaches between Viktor Frankl’s religious perspective and Noah’s seven laws

Abstract

Taking Pentateuco and the Talmud as a reference, besides other bibliographic sources, the article intends to establish an approximation between the religious perspective of psychotherapist Viktor Emil Frankl, who believed that the human being would possess a faculty of superior meaning that seeks a sense for life, and the seven biblical laws of Noah, which institutes an ethics of universal minimums through which humanity can coexist in harmony. The text is guided by the principle that religious traditions have the potential to shape society by fostering tolerance and human responsibility.
