This text explores the concept of responsibility as a more precise and comprehensible alternative to the notions of service or serving. The author distinguishes between two fundamental dimensions: being responsible for something or someone and being responsible to an authority or principle. It is argued that responsibility is inherently situational and specific to particular matters, as a universal responsibility for the world is an unattainable extreme. However, the author cautions against using the situational nature of responsibility as a pretext for narrowing its scope or avoiding moral agency. A classic example of such avoidance is the subordination of responsibility, where individuals claim they were merely fulfilling professional duties or following orders from superiors. The essay thus examines the boundaries and nature of human responsibility, critiquing the tendency to artificially limit it through hierarchical structures. Ultimately, while total responsibility is impossible, the text suggests that individual responsibility must not be conveniently constrained when actions have genuine consequences within the world.
