Abstract
Although neo-liberals seem to accept that people live in a systematically produced and calculated state of virtual irresponsibility, the recent past of Central and Eastern European cultures (dictatorial regimes, the Holocaust, ethnic wars, ecological disasters, financial and economic crises) demonstrate the tragic consequences of shared irresponsibility for freedom and human life. To promote ethical conduct by creating a valid conceptual frame for a responsible professional (business and economic) practice, we shall rethink the essential features of responsibilty, revealed by the 20th century phenomenologists as Husserl, Heidegger, Roman Ingarden, Sartre, Lévinas and Hans Jonas. For proving the practical validity of the term I will present a complex and to some extent contradictory Romanian case about the knowing-doing gap in the practice of a well-known CSR specialist. To enlighten the case I will refer to findings included in the sharp analysis of the thought of responsible actors involved in complex choice situations described by László Zsolnai.
