Document Summary
Is he released from responsibility, given that he didn"t say it. No, he said it still we open up space for responsibility. As its cause: for what i say means or you"re going to understand it. This virtuality must be available before i can be active with it. A community of speakers have to be there. Responsibility for what i mean when i say plus it means to say what i say. We are held responsible even if someone takes responsibility. We are invested with responsibility at the moment we begin to signify something. Autonomy (internal) and heteronomy (external law) exceeds autonomy. Hetero before autonomy (supposed you need to reach hetero to reach autonomy) To understand external force (it doesn"t make sense without it) Not prior to law - already in culture and politics. Law is the basis of friendship : not spoken. O my friends, there is no friend .
