Útban a bűn létfogalma felé
Towards the Concept of Sin

Summary/Abstract: In my thesis I examine certain historical antecedents of the Heideggerian concept of sin. More precisely, I select two important precursors of Heidegger from the modern German philosophical tradition to show how, following the changes in their ethical concept, they leave behind the concept of action of sin after a while, reaching the idea of the originality of our sinful existence. I must touch upon the relationship of the two authors to religion or to modern educational theory, and I will also attempt to draw some surprising conclusions about human autonomy and the possibility of happiness using examples from fiction. In my work, I keep in mind that ominous authors have always developed their work within the realm of ethics, and only Heidegger will transform the concept of sin into an existential term, opening a new era in universal ontology.
