The main argument of the paper is, that there are two meanings of the conce
pt of responsibility. On one hand there is the meaning bringing the respons
ibility together with the idea of imputable actions and on the other hand t
he concept of responsibility defined through the quality of warranty. the r
esponsibility is thus seen as related to the human behaviour as well as to
the kindred and mutual dependence, which are constitutive of human relation
ships. The author's view is, that to shed light on these different meanings
makes the proper understanding of what it means to be responsible possible
.
