The Euthyphro Dilemma

Euthyphro's dilemma in Prato's dialogue "Euthyphro", Socrates suggested a choice to Euthyphro. Euthyphro reacts by arguing that belief is an accepted [love] or acknowledged acceptance by God; rude is that God does not agree. But as Socrates pointed out, this problem would be a dilemma for those who believe Euthyphro has only God's authority to reveal the truth.

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.

Plato's meditation on God's command theory can be found in his dialogue Euthyphro. The reasons for suffering Euthyphro are as follows. "Is God morally good so that you can order morally good things or do you morally do good to be commanded from God?" The latter is true, justice is arbitrary , If the former is true, morality exists higher than God, God is just a successor to moral knowledge. Several philosophers think this is a faulty predicament. Tenderness is the nature of God, it is inevitably reflected in God's orders. Another reaction promoted in the context of Emmanuel Kant and C. S. Lewis is that the existence of moral objective morality means the existence of God and vice versa.

In the platonic dialogue "Euthyphro" there is a famous word that "Pious (τ ὸὸ σ ι υ υ, that is, morally good) is loved by the gods Is it loveed by God that it is godly? Or is it pious? "This is what people think of morality. Another important topic being widely discussed in Abraham's monotheistic religious philosophy is human free will and the question of God's omniscience. The omniscience of God, including perfect understanding of the future, leads theological determinism, which may conflict with free will of mankind. Regarding this point, there are various positions such as liberalism (free will is true) and reservation.
