Of the suggestions so far, I like 'untrammelled' the best, though it's perhaps a bit wider than this former sense of 'irresponsible'. A more modern translation (1999) gives 'unregulated'. Dr. Bill suggests 'supreme' by pm, neither of which quite fits the concept I have in mind. It would seem that our language has been impoverished by this change in meaning of 'irresponsible'.
