El presente trabajo consiste en dar cuenta desde una perspectiva histórica-conceptual-crítica los posibles entrecruzamientos entre Nietzsche y Freud centrándose principalmente en el desarrollo del concepto de culpa. El objetivo general que tiene este trabajo es situar convergencias entre las nociones de culpa en la obra de Freud y en la de Nietzsche. La culpa como juicio moral tiene una historia que el autor alemán rastrea en la comunidad originaria respecto a las deudas con los dioses. En Malestar en la cultura el tema principal del libro es el irremediable antagonismo entre las exigencias pulsionales y las restricciones impuestas por la cultura. Siendo en este antagonismo el sentimiento de culpa “el problema más importante del desarrollo cultural”. En Tótem y Tabú, Freud establece la hipótesis ontofilogenética respecto al concepto de culpa. Se conecta con la idea de sacrificio, ofrenda a los Dioses, crimen colectivo: culpa compartida. Todo éste recorrido permitirá ver cuáles son las afinidades entre Nietzsche y Freud.

The main purpose of the written is to locate the convergences between the notions of guilt in Nietzsche and Freud. From the historical perspective it will focus on the developments made by the German author about the original community where the guilt is found as a moral trial because of having a debt to the gods. This will be interlaced with the onto-phylogenetic hypothesis about the concept of guilt that is developed, in other side, by the Austrian author. This last one connects the ideas of sacrifice, offering to the gods and collective crime with the notion of “shared guilt”. Also, Freud will situate the feeling of guilt as a consequence of the irremediable antagonism between the pulsating demands and the restrictions imposed by the culture, being this antagonism “the most important problem of the cultural development”. With this theoretical travel it is expected to glimpse affinities between this two big contemporary thinkers. Key words Guilt - Culture - Sacrifice - Myth
