Viktor Frankl (1905-1997) A Holocaust survivor who tried to help inmates in Theresienstadt overcome despondency and developed a form of existential analysis called logotherapy.
Dr. Ingrid Pirker-Binder studied international business and education in Vienna and subsequently completed psychotherapeutic training in Existential Analysis and Logotherapy on the basis of the Viktor Frankl model.
Even if these extensions are rejected as unnecessarily complicated, Brentano's existential analysis offers a viable alternative to the propositional theory for basic kinds of judgements, like the ones used in syllogistic.
Along these lines one could also justify the use of propositional clauses and thereby avoid all the complications of the existential analysis; but Brentano does not seem to have considered this more radical simplification (see Psychology, p.299).
For the 20th century existentialists, a decisive philosophical inspiration was phenomenology, the philosophical method devised by the German philosopher, Edmund Husserl, during the late 19th and early 20th centuries, and which his famous student, Martin Heidegger, developed into a combination of existential analysis and deep ontology.

One motivation for developing a non-modal conception of ontological dependence is that the modal-existential analysis appears to be too coarse-grained for some cases.
Admittedly, those who defend a modal-existential analysis of ontological dependence could insist that it applies only to contingent objects (cf. Simons 1987: 295).
Accordingly, there is an obvious rift between the modal-existential analysis and the essentialist analysis one that we cannot fully bridge here.
The modal-existential analysis of ontological dependence can thus be developed further and it can perhaps overcome some of the problems that were pointed out earlier.
It seems thus that there are certain difficult questions which the modal-existential analysis may not fully address, at least not in the form that we have presented it until now.
