Abstract

The author deals with the concept of responsibility (“verantwoordelikheid”). He breaks the word up into component parts and then deals with each of these separately and ultimately in conjunction. These can be roughly summed up in terms of man being the questioned being (the questions being set by God). Man has to ‘respond’, being a ‘homo respondens’, and this response has to be done in love and in faith. Man also has to act in a manner that is responsive to the demands made: that is, to be involved in and with other people and issues. Man has to justify his actions, his life.
