Description

Euthyphro is a classic text written by Plato that deals with the exploration of piety and justice. Through this work, Plato seeks to provide an answer for the question of what constitutes a just action and how one should evaluate actions that are considered pious or holy. In order to address this query, Plato utilizes his signature Socratic dialogue format in order to engage Euthyphro in a philosophical discussion about piety and its implications for moral behavior.

Author

Plato (c. 427–347 BCE) wrote the dialogues in which Socrates thinks aloud — justice, love, the shape of a good city. Philosophy here is drama. Interactive Media keeps those conversations in circulation.
