This volume frames the question of responsibility as a problem of
agency in relation to the systems and structures of globalization.
According to Ricoeur responsibility is a "shattered concept" when
considered too narrowly as a problem of act, agency and individual
freedom. To examine this Esther Reed develops a short genealogy of
modern liberal and post-liberal concepts of responsibility in order
to understand better the relationship dominant modern framings of
the meanings of responsibility. Reed engages with writings by major
modern (Schleiermacher, Hegel, Marx, Weber) and post-liberal
(Buber, Levinas, Derrida, Badiou, Butler, Young, Critchley)
theorists to illustrate the shift from an ethnic responsibility
built on notions of accountability and attributions to an ethic
responsibility that starts variously from the 'other'. Reed sees
Dietrich Bonhoeffer as the most promising partner of this
theological dialogue, as his learning of responsibility from the
risen Christ present now in the (global) church is a welcome
provocation to new thinking about the meaning of responsibility
learned from land, distant neighbour, (global) church and the
bible. Bonhoeffer's reflections on the centre, boundaries and
limits of responsibility remain helpful to Christian people
struggling with an increasingly exhausted concept of
accountability.
