PHI332 : The Class : Argument Evaluation : Analogy : Exercise4.2.14
The open window and burglar argument (from 4.2.6 (1))
1. If [I] voluntarily [open a window to air my room], knowing of the chance it will issue in [entry by a burglar], and . . . [a burglar does enter], then [my] partial responsibility for the [burglar's] being there DOES itself give it a right to the use of [my room].
3. Thus [expelling the burglar] would be doing [the burglar] an injustice.
4. Then . . . if [I] voluntarily [admitted the burglar into my room], I can NOT now kill [or expel] it, even in self-defense.
Hint: see Warren, para. 3, p. 342.
