Responsibility and Freedom: Ethics and Politics

ABSTRACT

The colloquium, held in Spanish, explored understandings of "responsible persons" and "responsibility" as well as the relationship of responsibility to freedom and liberty. Understanding what it means to be responsible, who can be responsible, and what follows from being and not being responsible is critical to the ongoing conversation about liberty.
