From one perspective, both the free spirit acting on their own and the individual tied to a Kantian ethic of duty are equally irresponsible. The free spirit has reduced their obligations to their own feelings, intuitions or insights and thus enslaved their scope of choice to themselves while proclaiming themselves as ultimately free. The person of duty has reduced their obligations to a set of rules, authorities, or principles abdicating even the capacity of free choice. This perspective suggests that responsibility is found only in being both ultimately free and ultimately obligated.
