This article describes answerability, a fundamental component of social reason and action. 'Holding answerable' and 'being answerable' are characterized in terms of their roles in the drama of human relations, and our general tendency to anticipate answerable, rather than ethical, behavior in situations that are ethically problematic is discussed
