At the end of the "Applications of Logotherapy" chapter of The Will to Meaning, Viktor Fraankl writes as follows:
"Thousands of years ago mankind developed monotheism. Today another step is due. I would call it monathropism. Not the belief in the one God but rather the awareness of the one mankind, the awareness of the unity of humanity; a unity in whose light the different colors of ours skins would fade away. "
Frankl's foot note on this read: "I am in no way against discrimination. To be sure, I am not for racial but rather for radical discrimination. That is to say, I am for judging each individual on the grounds of the unique 'race' that is represented by him alone. In other words, I am for personal rather than racial discrimination."
