EPISTEMOLOGY ETHICS AND MEANING IN UNUSUALLY PE...

This book uses Viktor Frankl's Existential Psychology (logotherapy) to explore the ways some
professors use unusually personal scholarship to discover meaning in personal adversity. A
psychiatrist imprisoned for three years in Nazi concentration camps  Frankl believed the search
for meaning is a powerful motivator  and that its discovery can be profoundly therapeutic. Part
I begins with four stories of professors finding meaning. Using the case studies as a
foundation  Part II investigates issues of epistemology and ethics in unusually personal
research from an existential perspective. The book offers advice for graduate students and
faculty who want to live and work more meaningfully in the academy.
