Freedom and responsibility: differentiation of related concepts

The responsibility of a person to society and society to a person is a multifaceted phenomenon manifested in the field of economy, policy, law, socio-cultural relations, etc. In recent years, the problem of studying responsibility as a socio-philosophical phenomenon rather than an axiological category, in which socio-legal responsibility plays a key role and determines the general structure of socio-state relations, the place, role and behavior of social actors in these relations, has been acute. The article investigates the nature of responsibility as a socio-philosophical category in connection with related concepts, namely the concepts of “freedom” and “necessity”. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of differing views on the phenomenon of freedom as a philosophical category. In addition, the article emphasizes the philosophical approaches to understanding responsibility, freedom, relations of freedom, responsibility, and necessity. We also have proposed a socio-philosophical definition of the concept "responsibility".
