Spirituality in the Perspective of Janusz Korczak and Viktor Frankl: Planes of Encounter

Natalia Dudek Logo ORCID

Abstract

Prayer seems to have various functions in human life. In this paper, it has been presented as a verbal manifestation of spirituality, as a tool for elaborating experience, for giving it meaning and finally as an immanent expression of humanity. I consider this work as a place of creative meeting of two ideas, whose authors are Janusz Korczak and Viktor E. Frankl. It is a timid attempt to look at one author through the eyes of the other. The aim of this article is to explore the mental representations of God as created in the minds
of the subjects who speak in Korczak’s work Sam na sam z Bogiem and, on this basis, to attempt to determine the function that prayer plays for them. It also looks at the notion of humanity and the role that spirituality, broadly defined, plays in its constitution.
