Plato's Euthyphro A Summary

[@alexanderd.9460]

For anyone here hoping to get info for a test. This may be the most important info left out. Some texts use different words in the main issue of argument. Holy = pious/piety

[@MiguelBenitezJr]

Excellent point. Thanks for mentioning that.

[@alexanderd.9460]

@@MiguelBenitezJr Sure, great descriptive video so thank you.

[@Christopher_Bachm]

I remember having to study this nonsense. The logical fallacies are innumerable. Somehow, nonsense sells.

[@KRGruner]

@@Christopher_Bachm Name one (logical fallacy).

[@Christopher_Bachm]

@@KRGruner The entire setup is obviously disingenuous, but I will gladly follow up with specific examples. 🤔

[@ivancampos6754]

This was a very good explanation of Plato’s Euthyphro, you covered pretty much all of the important points. One part that I found thought provoking was when Socrates explained that if there were ever a dispute about which of two numbers was greater they could settle the dispute by resorting to arithmetic; if there were ever a dispute about which object was bigger they could settle it by measuring the objects. But when it comes to agreeing on what is just and unjust or right and wrong the gods do not agree. What is approved by Zeus may be offensive to Kronos. When it comes to the questions about morality the answers don’t appear to be self evident, not even to the gods.

[@SacredSirloin]

I appreciate your delivery - enthusiastic without being over the top. When talking philosophy, this seems to be a hard balance to strike for many. Masterfully communicated. *Subscribed*

[@justahumanbeing0]

out of all the videos out there on euthyphro , this is by far the best. easy explanation. it shows how clear you are with your concepts. thank you for this❤

Great thoughts and summary of a dialogue that I have read, loved, and chewed on for decades. I appreciate discussion re: the "Euthyphro Dilemma", though that is not what I dwell on. I have always thought - and I am probably wrong - that Plato/Socrates' point - the one that is completely lost on Euth. is in the statement Socrates makes, "Then piety, Euthyphro, is an art which gods and men have of doing business with one another?" It is posed as a question, but is in fact a statement. This was Euth. understanding of piety and holiness boiled down to its very essence. It describes too many people of faith and various life philosophies, it seems. Euth. doesn't care about the nature of piety - he just wants a profitable transaction with the gods. He appears to be looking for reward for its own sake. Piety, to his understanding, is simply the art (in the broadest ancient Greek sense of the term) of business. The Art of the Deal, or whatever that book is called. I think too many of my own faith have this same philosophy thousands of years after Plato tried to get readers past it. The apostle Paul would say, "quit longing for milk, and start eating meat." Unless one is a vegetarian, of course. That is what I got out of this fantastic dialogue.

I've just finished reading Euthyphro and came to find a summary to ensure I'd understood it correctly and this was absolutely brilliant, thank you! I think it's going to take some time and some rereads before I can begin to have my own ideas and opinions about the dilemma though.

[@ethanrichard4950]

In my view, i think its a false dilemma that assumes only to options, that the pious was made or found in the external. It doesn't allow for an obvious answer. The God/gods are what is pious, what is good. It is a part of them, in essence

[@ak.pod31]

Thank you for the explanation in simpler words. It really helped me get clarity on the subject. However there was one part that got me confused. I'm relatively new to philosophy and this is the text that I am starting off with so I may be completely wrong. But, you said that plato wrote that what is agreeable upon by all gods can't be holy because then it could keep changing and that's why euthyphro didn't go with that option. But why would it keep changing. Wouldn't the gods set like definitions of certain things being holy and those could be followed? Or did the gods exist in the same timeline and change it?
