Problem: Suppose that I learn exactly what music my neighbor likes. I play this music loudly enough for my neighbor to hear it. I can see that he enjoys it because he dances when I play upbeat music and relaxes when I play light jazz. After a few months of this, I give him a bill. He benefits from my behavior, I say, and he could have asked me to stop. Yet, he did not. Now, what would Kant say about the person who listens to my music? Does he owe me money or not? Explain Kant's moral theory insofar as it is relevant to answering this question. Explain how he thinks we should reach moral decisions. Then, put the scenario I envision in your paper. Finally, demonstrate that your judgment about what Kant would say is correct.
