The purpose of this paper was to reflect on the coincidences and differences between the Limit Situations of the German philosopher Karl Jaspers and the Tragic Triad of the founder of Existential Analysis and Logotherapy, the Jewish physician Victor Frankl. The latter always acknowledged his sources and was no less generous with the second greatest existential philosopher after Heidegger. The limit situations proposed by Jaspers are struggle, chance, guilt and death, but he adds that they all have suffering in common. To assemble his masterly tragic triad, Frankl only takes three of the five, which are suffering, guilt and death, and explains that they represent the tragic part of life and situations from which no human being can escape or evade and continue to support one of his central concepts such as the Meaning of life. All life has meaning and this can be found even in suffering, guilt and death.
