Abstract

This article aimed to discuss about the relations between religiosity and ethics from Viktor Frankl’s perspective. For this, through a bibliographic review, his point of view about religiosity and ethics was identified based on the search for the meaning of life. Authors such as Martin Buber, Max Scheler and Johannes Hessen were brought as interlocutors for the dialogue on the will of a last meaning of life. The interrelationships and existential implications of homo religiosus and homo ethicus were discussed, about the experiential ethics imbricated in the subject’s relationship with the world based on these perspectives. It was concluded that, for Frankl, the ethical and the religious are amalgamation in the concept of consciousness (Gewissen) when, for the religious man, the voice of transcendence echoes.
