Question Answered step-by-step In Plato’s Euthyphro, Euthyphro’s third definition of piety is… In Plato’s Euthyphro, Euthyphro’s third definition of piety is “Piety is what all the gods love.” Socrates asks that Euthyphro clarify for him what makes an act pious if this is true. We noted that there is a distinction Euthyphro is missing in his definition of piety. Explain what this distinction is, taking care to explain both sides of the distinction, as well as what each side would claim makes an act pious, i.e., why it is a pious thing. Next, explain from the “key conclusions” we derived from Euthyphro which side of this distinction Socrates thinks makes an action pious, what one must possess for one to act piously if this is the case, and finally what this says about the role of “opinion” in determining whether an act is morally good or not. In Plato’s Crito, “the Laws” of Athens (through Socrates) present three arguments for why escape is immoral. Carefully explain the first and second arguments presented by the laws (meaning the two arguments that are not the “Caretaker Argument”). Take care to unpack the reasoning for each clearly, rather than simply listing ideas.   Arts & Humanities Philosophy PHIL 2020 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
