Euthyphro - 2024 ACF Winter

Question

William P. Alston wrote an essay titled, “What [this character] Should Have Said” that examines divine-command theory. For 10 points each:

[10m] Name this title character of a Platonic dialogue, who is on his way to prosecute his father before another figure asks him whether “the pious [is] loved by the gods because it is pious, or is it pious because it is loved by the gods?”

ANSWER: Euthyphro (“YOO-thuh-froh”) [accept “What Euthyphro Should Have Said”]

[10e] In his namesake dialogue, Euthyphro is interrogated by this philosopher who names a method of inquiry through repeated questioning.

ANSWER: Socrates [accept Socratic method]

[10h] Original-language term required. Peter Geach (“geech”) criticized Socrates’s assumption that one cannot know instances of a word without providing a definition as potentially “morally harmful,” since it leads to this state often translated as “puzzlement,” common in Platonic dialogues.

ANSWER: aporia
