German-EnglishZurechnungsfaehigkeit
The concept of Zurechnungsfaehigkeit implies agency (Handlungsfaehigkeit) and responsiblity (Verantwortungsfaehigkeit). It assumes an agent to whom we may attribute the responsibility for what she says and does. Juergen Habermas takes it as a presupposition of rationality. Without responsible agents, no rationality.
