Exploring the philosophical intersections between Karl Jaspers and Victor Frankl, this work delves into their concepts of existential crises. Jaspers identifies limit situations—struggle, chance, guilt, and death—highlighting their shared essence of suffering. In contrast, Frankl distills these into a tragic triad of suffering, guilt, and death, emphasizing their inevitability in life. He argues that even in these harsh realities, individuals can discover meaning, reinforcing his belief in the significance of life amidst adversity.
