Yet these same aspects of agency also pose challenges to the traditional concept of responsibility, which locates responsibility in the exercise of a rational will. Professor Krause begins by identifying the embodied and distributed - i.e., non-sovereign - aspects of individual agency and then explores the implications of non-sovereign agency for personal responsibility. Agency includes but extends beyond a self that is individuated, reflexive, and responsive to norms, and both reflexivity and norm-responsiveness are themselves embodied capacities. When properly conceived, the non-sovereign approach enhances rather than diminishes the extent of our obligations to others. It supplements responsibility as liability with responsibility in the forms of accountability and responsiveness, and explains how these different types of responsibility help us to make good on the demands - and the promises - of democratic citizenship.
