Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. Moral agency in Judaism is somewhat different to its treatment in other cultural spheres. As in many cultures and nations, minors and the insane were not regarded as being responsible for their actions. However, in Judaism, the definition of a minor - somone who has not reached the Jewish age of majority - included people in their 20s and early 30s, if they had no visible sign of puberty at age 20; conversely, a child ceased being a minor at age 12 (if female) or 13 (if male), as long as they had signs of puberty at this age. As in many legal systems, insanity has a somewhat nuanced definition; in classical Judaism, insane, as far as it concerns questions of moral agency, refers to confirmed maniacs, people with severe mental retardation, if they show signs of derangement (such as inexplicably destroying their clothes, or persistently putting themselves in unnecessary danger), and people sufficiently intoxicated that they are likely to suffer loss of consciousness.
