Self-study
Sharon, a noted collector of fine glass, found a rare glass vase in a secondhand store in a small town she was visiting. ███ ████ ███ ██████ ██ ████ ███ ██████ ████ ████ ██ ███ █████ ██ █████ ███████ ██████ ███████ ██ ███ ███████████ █████ ███ █████ ██ ███ █████ ██████ ██████ ███ ████ ███ ████ █████ █████ ███ ███████████ ████ █ █████████ ███████ █████ ████████ ███████████ █████ █████████ ███ ████ ███ ███ ███ ███ ████████ ███ ████ ███ █████ ███████████ █████ ███████ ██████ ██ ██████ █████████ ██ ████ ██████ ███████ ████ ███ ███ ████ ███████ ██████
Summary
Sharon believes that she did nothing wrong by buying a vase for $10 despite knowing it was worth $1,000. Why not? Because the vase was initially priced by the storekeeper at $10—all Sharon did was not mention its true value when purchasing it.
Notable Assumptions
Sharon comes to a conclusion about her moral innocence just based on a series of factual events that have occurred. This must mean that Sharon is assuming some moral rule that applies to these events, which releases her from any blame.
We need to find a matching principle, which will tell us that if a customer pays the posted price for an item despite knowing of its higher value, then that customer has done nothing wrong.
