Guilt as the "Knot" of Morality
Abstract
The author analyzes the main problems in defining semantic, psychological and social
dimensions of conscience. Starting with etymology and the research of linguistic tradition he
distinguishes causative fault and guilt. Internalisation of guilt is treated as the most important issue
for morality. This issue essentially creates a major „knot” of morality, however, it points to the
objectified, social sense of guilt. From the perspective of conscience guilt reveals and enables
genuine morality and the chance to adapt a human’s own guilt in view of their personal
development and of preserving dignity. The perspectives of the conscience analysis distinguished
in the article require a thorough examination and discussion.
