Abstract
No consistent and universal defi nition of responsibility has been provided so far – neither in the general scientifi c context, nor (surprisingly) in studies andresearch explicitly related to the responsibility phenomenon. In this paper I outline a minimalistic defi nition of responsibility exploring to what extent the ›preresponsible concepts‹ duty and guilt merge in our contemporary understanding of responsibility. Epistemologically the minimalistic defi nition of responsibilitycombines three ideas: to be responsible is (1) a normative concept, it means (2) to be answerable for something, and is based (3) on the assumption of a certainpsycho-motivational constitution of the responsible agent.
