NOODYNAMICS AS A NECESSARY TENSION FOR THE CONFRONTATION OF VALUES IN A WORLD FULL OF MEANINGS.

Abstract

The present work aims to reflect on how nihilistic thinking affects the way of life of the 
subject, making him disregard the objectivity of the values and meanings that are in the world. The 
implications of this thinking result in a crisis of meaning and significance of the individual's own 
existence. In our understanding, the reality of the meanings in the world is objective, as the father of 
Logotherapy, the Austrian psychiatrist Viktor Frankl, states. In this way, the author introduces the notion 
of noodynamics as a primordial factor, within the ontological constitution of the human being, to generate 
the necessary tension that allows the confrontation of should-be in a world full of meanings.
