Voluntariness and Responsibility
The fundamentals concepts of Ethics such as morality, human acts, responsibility, reward or punishment, are intimately related to each other All these concepts presuppose freedom of choice in manor voluntariness.
1. Relation between voluntariness and Ethics – Ethics studies human acts, and human acts to be human must be voluntary.
2. Between morality and voluntariness – Only voluntary acts have amoral bearing. It is absurd and silly to speak of the morality of dogs, stones, horses, etc. precisely because these do not have the freedom of choice in their actions.

3. Human act and voluntariness – human acts are the free acts of man.
4. Responsibility and voluntariness – there can be responsibility only if there is knowledge and consent and consent means voluntariness.
5. Punishment – it is absurd and most cruel to punish anyone who acted because of pure necessity, for doing what he could not do otherwise. Unless there is voluntariness, there can be no responsibility, and without responsibility, punishment is meaningless.
