THE BORDER AND IMPORTANCE OF THE PRINCIPLE OF ROMAN

COMPREHENSION OF GUILT

Summary

In the focus of this paper, which presents some closing chapters of the diploma paper on philosophy with the title "Principles of the Roman comprehension of guilt", are epochal changes that occurred in Rome by the beginning and spreading of Christianity. The process of the establishment of the Christian principle was tedious both intellectually and historically, leaving deep scratches on the path of human development, reshaping completely the antique way of comprehension of human-to-human and human-to-the- world relationship. That historical framework served as a key for the understanding as how the Roman epoch ended and, eventually, for the understanding of the antique attitude toward guilt, which was raised to a universal level in Christianity by a developed comprehension of Christian religious guilt.

Key words: Roman world, Christianity, Judaism, guilt
