The Euthyphro dilemma.

>>>/his/hum/

we moderns do things because they make rational sense, not because we are the slave of someone else who commands us. it's pretty cut and dry desu. Plato definitely isn't wishy washy about that either

obviously if one believes in God, then what God commands is morally good because it is morally good, otherwise you wouldn't believe in God

if you don't believe in God, then everyone who believes in God is just a mindless drone

Its an interesting dialogue that presents the cultural Socrates was challenging. I always recommend this as an introduction to Plato because it introduces the concepts of forms in an interesting way. Christianity recognizes that things are holy because God says so, its
interesting to me to see the development of religion and how its become something more complex than what the Greeks believed.

plato was actually satirizing fedorafags, but we ended up taking him seriously. he's rolling over in his grave.
