In Augustinian theory, guilt is a theological term, mainly concerning the relationship between God and human beings. On the basis of the Pauline theological tradition, Augustine made the connection between guilt and concupiscence. On the one hand, concupiscence in itself is guilt, just the same as any other guilt, regardless of its origins; while on the other hand, concupiscence is specifically the outcome of guilt as punishment, for taking limited creatures as the object of one's love. For Martin Heidegger, guilt is a concept in the existentialist sense, related to the fact that Dasein was originally guilt to oneself. However, for Emmanuel Lévinas, guilt is mainly an ethical phenomenon and can be considered in one's ethical vision of the relationship one has with others. Thus, we can ask how the problem of guilt arises in one's connection with others, and why it is ethically related to others.
