Solving the Euthyphro Dilemma

Please imagine that it is trapped in high seas by a lifeboat capable of accommodating up to 50 people. Who will put you, who will save you. Let's think about; there are a total of 175 people to live the same life as the next person. For individuals responsible for the situation, this may be a difficult decision. Individuals can make final decisions in various ways, but it can be traced back to their background in their personal motives and ethical decisions.

The dilemma of Euthyphro was raised in Plato dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro. In this scene, when Socrates raised a dilemma, Socrates and Euthyphro were talking about the essence of godliness. The dilemma of Euthyphro allows behavior to be a good reaction for God to order actions or to order God to act. If you choose the first one, it means that the command of God must be good: even if he orders someone to exert pain, that pain must be moral . If the latter is chosen, morality no longer depends on God, but it breaks God's command theory. In addition, if God is bound by external law, he will not be sovereign or omnipotent, it will challenge the orthodox concept of God.

In his conversation, Euthyphro, Plato proposed a theological dilemma surrounding the relationship between God (or god) and morality. Since this dilemma began, almost all religions in the world have tried to solve the problem that it presents. In particular, the monotheism formed after the golden age of Greece paid special attention to this problem in doctrine and philosophy, Muslim theologians basically solved this problem. Presence, its theologians and philosophers proposed a series of solutions without a clear agreement. Although theological spontaneism is such a solution, when trying to answer Euthyphro's dilemma, theological autocracy rejects moral realism and distorts the essence of perfect God.
