A szégyen fenomenológiája
The Phenomenology of Shame

Summary/Abstract: This paper tries to offer a phenomenological analysis of the affect of shame on the one hand, and puts the phenomenon of shame into a broader perspective on the other. It makes three basic claims: (1) although the feelings associated with guilt and shame seem similar, the existential structure of the affect of guilt and shame is quite different; (2) an existential analysis based on the concept of shame is more revealing of our present social-cultural situation than a traditional approach based on guilt; (3) the structure of the subject based on shame is also different from that of the subject based on guilt: instead of an authentic self-core, we arrive at a notion of a split subject.
