A critique of existential guilt
Abstract
Argues "that the concept of existential guilt contains a very essential dimension of human life but that at least some of the existential writers have broadened it to make it a constant existential fact and thus accepted a concept of man which does not follow from an awareness and acknowledgement of the human situation . . . . We cannot be termed guilty because we engage in the very human and inescapable act of choosing but it can and in the opinion of this writer should refer to deviations from our hierarchy of values."
