The present text aims at presenting, in an introductory way, concepts such as, violence, morality and sociability within Frankl’s human-existentialist conception. According to Frankl’s conception, the violence is responsible for the degradation of the human being, and also for human decharacterization. Therefore, it dehumanizes the human being. In a humanistic and anthropological scope, the overcoming of violence must be conceived by means of auto-transcendence, that is, by overcoming a selfish existence. Undergoing the experience of morality and sociability, mankind is able to reveal the feeling that alterity can confer to human life. Therefore, the human being fulfills himself basing his existence in auto-transcendence. This happens when the human being finds a meaning for his own existence outside himself. It is through the genuine interacting with ‘the other’ that man enables sociability, assures moral behaviour and surpasses the dimension of violence.
