Publisher's Synopsis
Plato's Euthyphro is a philosophical dialogue between Socrates and Euthyphro, a religious expert. In this dialogue, Socrates questions Euthyphro about the nature of piety and the gods. Euthyphro argues that piety is doing what the gods love, but Socrates challenges him by asking whether the gods love things because they are pious or whether things are pious because the gods love them. The dialogue explores the relationship between morality and religion, and raises questions about the nature of knowledge and the role of reason in understanding the world. This edition of the dialogue was published in 1890 and includes a translation of the original Greek text, as well as an introduction and notes by the translator.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
