דאס גאנצע וואס ס׳שאדט פאר איז מושגי ״שכר ועונש״ וממילא תשובה (ועיין במאמר השני שלי בוועקער 19). ער טענה׳ט אבער אז דאס׳ן אויפגעבן מאראלישע רעספּאַנסיבּיליטי איז ל״ד א הכרח צו שטערן דאס׳ן אים מאכן תשובה טוהן.
First of all, note that being morally responsible is distinct from behaving responsibly, that is, behaving morally, and from taking responsibility for something – making a sincere commitment to a task in one’s community, for example, or to care for someone. It is also different from the legitimacy of holding oneself and others morally accountable, where this amounts to the legitimacy of demanding that agents explain how their decisions accord with the moral point of view, and that they consider what their decisions reveal about their moral character and dispositions. The notions of behaving responsibly, taking responsibility, and moral accountability are independent of moral responsibility, and can survive without it
Furthermore, absence of moral responsibility is compatible with our actions being good and bad, or right and wrong. By ordinary intuitions, the actions of a small child can be good or bad, right or wrong, before he or she qualifies as morally responsible. A legal analogy also indicates why this might be so. Suppose that someone has, unbeknownst to you, slipped a drug into your seltzer that makes you compulsively speed in your car – so much so that it causally determines you to speed. Suppose that an officer stops you as you are speeding on the freeway. Even if you are not blameworthy for speeding in this case, what you were doing was manifestly legally wrong. By analogy, moral wrongdoing is also consistent with the absence of blameworthiness. Even if an agent is not blameworthy for lying, it may still be wrong for him to lie
