Theistic Ethics and the Euthyphro Dilemma

Journal of Religious Ethics, 2002
It is widely believed that the Divine Command Theory is untenable due to the Euthyphro Dilemma. This article first examines the Platonic dialogue of that name, and shows that Socrates’s reasoning is faulty. Second, the dilemma in the form in which many contemporary philosophers accept it is examined in detail, and this reasoning is also shown to be ...

Divine moral goodness, supererogation and The Euthyphro Dilemma

International Journal for Philosophy of Religion, 2015
How can we make sense of God’s moral goodness if God cannot be subject to moral obligations? This question is troubling for Divine Command Theorists, as if we cannot make sense of God’s moral goodness then it seems hard to see how God’s commands could be morally good. William P.

A Response to Old Riddles and a New Typology: On the Euthyphro Dilemma and Theomonism

2018
This chapter argues for a reading of Schelling that is able to offer a satisfactory response to the Euthyphro Dilemma while also avoiding the pitfall of onto-theology, that is, grounding God’s existence in reason alone while grounding the being of reason in God. Eternal truths of reason exist only because God exists, but God only exists as God by means

In the Wake of Euthyphro's False Dilemma

Eleutheria: John W. Rawlings School of Divinity Academic Journal, 2021
All moral apologists, at one time or another, engage with the Euthyphro dilemma and all theologians engage, at one point or another, the issue of continuity or discontinuity of the Mosaic Covenant and Torah in general. The general view among apologists is that correct theology can be determined by its logical consistency and explanatory power ...

A way out of the Euthyphro dilemma

Religious Studies, 2011
AbstractI defend the view that morality depends on God against the Euthyphro dilemma by arguing that the reasons that God has for determining the moral–natural dependencies might be personal reasons that have non-moral content. I deflect the ‘arbitrary whim’ worry, but I concede that the account cannot extend to the goodness of God and His will ...

What Does the Euthyphro Dilemma Reveal about the Nature of Allah?

Eleutheria: John W. Rawlings School of Divinity Academic Journal, 2022
In their book, Good God: The Theistic Foundations of Morality, David Baggett & Jerry Walls discuss the nature of the God of Christianity by studying the Euthyphro dilemma. This paper shall follow Louise Antony, Walls, and Baggett’s model of the Euthyphro dilemma (Divine Command Theory) and uses it as an objective moral standard to study the nature of ...

MORAL RELATIVISM AND THE EUTHYPHRO DILEMMA

Think, 2015
What makes a morally right action morally right and a morally wrong action morally wrong? For clarity's sake, let us divide the question. First, what makes a particular action the morally right action in some situation, that is, what makes it morally obligatory?

Kant’s Solution to the Euthyphro Dilemma

Philosophia, 2016
Are our actions morally good because we approve of them or are they good independently of our approval? Are we projecting moral values onto the world or do we detect values that are already there? For many these questions don’t state a real alternative but a secular variant of the Euthyphro dilemma: If our actions are good because we approve of them ...
