The Role of Freedom and Choice
Frankl emphasizes the power of choice in even the most dehumanizing circumstances. In the camps, everything could be taken from a person except the ability to choose one’s attitude in a given set of circumstances. This freedom to choose one’s response becomes a core theme.
- “Everything can be taken from a man but one thing: the last of the human freedoms—to choose one’s attitude in any given set of circumstances, to choose one’s own way.”
- Even in the face of immense suffering, humans possess the capacity to find purpose through their decisions.
