Even when imputation and blame are in question, they can yet be distinguished from the judgment that so-and-so was a voluntary act.

Спасибо!

А более широкий контекст?
Даже когда речь идет об осуждениях и обвинениях, можно все же установить их отличие от заключения суда о том, что то-то и то-то явилось умышленным действием

[ОксанаС.]

скорее всего это о вменении и вине
контекст нужен, да, но, видимо, речь идет о том, вопрос о вине не идентичен вопросу об умысле/умышленности деяния

Контекст:
Again, even when imputation and blame are in question, they can yet be distinguished from the judgment that so-and-so was a voluntary act. There are savage communities where even involuntary homicide carries the death penalty. In one such community, the story goes, a man fell off a coconut palm and broke a bystander's neck; the dead man's brother demanded blood for blood. With Solomonic wisdom the chief ordered the culprit to stand under the palm tree and said to the avenger of blood, "Now you climb up and fall off and break his neck!" This suggestion proved unwelcome and the culprit went free. Though the vengeful brother may still have thought the culprit ought to have been punished, his reaction to the suggested method of execution showed that he knew as well as we do the difference between falling-off-a-tree-and-breaking-someone-else's-neck voluntarily or intentionally and just having it happen to you. To be sure, on his moral code the difference did not matter - his brother's death was still imputable to the man who fell on him - but this does not show that he had no notion of voluntariness, or even a different one from ours.

[ОксанаС.]

даже случайное причинение смерти карается смертным приговором - то есть вина определяется независимо от умышленности деяния

Что-то я запутался в конец! К чему относится "but this does not show that he had no notion of voluntariness, or even a different one from ours"? Как это вяжется со всем текстом?
