Crime from a Philosophical Perspective

Abstract

The philosophical interpretation of sin is analysed within the historical relationship between theology and philosophy, with particular attention to the distinction between sin and guilt. The paper explores how philosophy approaches the concept of sin through the thought of Augustine, Meister Eckhart and Socrates, and how sin appears as a problem of appearance in the self-justification of philosophy. The analysis concludes that sin is not an independent philosophical subject but gains significance through the limits and self-understanding of philosophical inquiry.
