Popis: In this chapter, the life of Viktor Frankl is reconstructed through content analysis based on the two tenets of the model of PP2.0 (Sects. 4.3.2 and 4.3.3) such as virtue and meaning. Since the term virtue is extensive, this research deals only with the character strengths of transcendent virtues such as appreciation of beauty, gratitude, hope, humour, spirituality. Paul Wong’s PURE model (2012) is used to analyze the structure of meaning in Viktor Frankl’s life. Transcendent virtues, as well as the structure of meaning, will be analyzed during the different stages of Viktor Frankl’s life. Alexander’s indicators of psychological saliency as well as Schultz’s prototypical scenes were used to interpret key aspects of Frankl’s autobiographical book “The Man’s Search For Meaning” as well as to get a more in-depth insight into a personality of Viktor Frankl.
