Abstract
The article suggests that legal terminology is important for the legislator, judge, executive authorities, etc. It is also valuable for the formation and development of theoretical ideas about a particular socio-legal phenomenon. The author sets the task of comprehending, getting to the essence of the concept and content of the phenomenon “responsibility”. The article gives a general idea of responsibility, analyzes the understanding of the term “responsibility” in philosophy, psychology, and social sphere. The author bases his arguments on the study of linguistic dictionaries, the study of the works of ancient thinkers, etc. The conducted research allowed us to identify the presence of linguistic and conceptual problems in individual cases based on an erroneous translation or terminological expression of the essence of the analyzed concept. In conclusion, conclusions are made that correspond to the goal and objective of this work. The article is introductory. It marks the beginning of a large work, the continuation of which will be the publication of a series of articles on the content of the concept of “responsibility”, “legal responsibility”, “administrative responsibility”.
