unaccountability

is the idea that he who is punished is merely being employed as the means of henceforth deterring others from certain actions and he who is rewarded could not have acted otherwise than he did.

Justice that rewards. He who has fully grasped the theory of total unaccountability can no longer accommodate so-called justice that punishes and rewards under the concept of justice at all: provided, that is, that this consist in giving to each what is his own. For he who is punished does not deserve the punishment: he is merely being employed as the means of henceforth deterring others from certain actions... likewise, he who is rewarded does not deserve this reward: for he could not have acted otherwise than he did. Thus the reward possesses only the sense of an encouragement, to him and others, and the provision of a motive for subsequent actions... commendation is called out to the runner who is still on the track, not to him who has reached the finishing-line.
