Description: "Frankl examines the role of moral concepts in the life of societies, pointing to the interaction between neurotic and psychotic disturbances in individuals and the pathologies which periodically overwhelm societies. He then asks why morality is necessary in the human species and examines its biological and psychological origins. In the philosophical section of this book Frankl attempts a rational reconstruction of moral ideas based on an understanding of man's emotional needs."--BOOK JACKET.
