O sujeito contemporâneo frente à realidade existencial e o real sentido da vida

Abstract

This Course Conclusion Paper (TCC) of the Religious Sciences course, mobilizes many questions from the author, on the issue of the contemporary subject. Understanding such a subject has been a quest that still begins in Ancient Greece, in particular, with Socrates embracing, minting and living, based on what he experienced, in the temple at Delphi, the sense of existence engraved in the phrase contained in the stone: “Know yourself”. This thinker discovers the inner man, precisely at a time when all efforts were centered on the search for an understanding and understanding of the origin of phisis. As a general objective we seek to understand the contemporary subject in the face of existential reality and the real meaning of life. As a specific objective to deepen the knowledge about the meaning of life from the theoretical assumptions from the hermeneutic philosophy. As a problem, we question how the subject sees himself in the face of existential reality and what kind of meaning does he attribute to his life? Second Víktor Frankl, the meaning of life changes, however, without ceasing to exist and, in order to seek the discovery of this meaning, there are three ways: a) do a job or in the practice of an act; b) experiencing something or meeting someone; c) the posture taken in the face of suffering. If in the first it is something simple, in the second, the meaning of life requires kindness, truth, beauty; but it will also demand the need for experience with the other, in a meeting in his originality - loving him.
