AB - This study examines guilt, a core emotion that every human has, through constrasting Freudian psychoanalysis and Buddhism. According to Freud, guilt is a variant of anxiety, equated to ‘conscience anxiety’, which he also describes as a tension between the superego and the ego. He points out that excessive conscience anxiety can lead to neurosis and therefore guilt is a serious threat to human civilization. On the other hand, in Buddhism, there is no concept of emotion that completely coincides with the concept of guilt. However, within Buddhism there are mental factors(cetasika) of ‘Hiri’ and ‘Ottappa’, which reflect and describe fear of sin respectively. This Buddhist feeling of guilt is an ethical emotion that always coexists within a good mind, and furthermore, it is a spiritual emotion that serves the ultimate goal of Buddhism, nirvana. This study analyzes the three reasons for their different perspectives on guilt: one is pathological, and the other is not only ethical but also spiritual. First, they present different ideals or models that are reflected in the development of guilt. Second, they assume that the area of consciousness where guilt mainly functions is different. Finally, their different understandings of the nature of the human mind lead to fundamental differences in views on guilt.
