The Euthyphro dilemma, originating from Plato’s dialogue, poses the question: Is something good because the gods command it, or do the gods command it because it is good? This classical paradox highlights a deep tension between arbitrariness and independence in the foundations of morality.

Beyond the Euthyphro Dilemma: Divine Nature as the Ground of Moral Goodness
The Euthyphro Dilemma is often treated as a decisive challenge to theistic ethics: either God commands what is good because it is independently good, or an action is good only because God commands it. This article argues that both horns rest on a false assumption that God and goodness are independent realities requiring external ...

From the Divine to the Legal Euthyphro Dilemma: How Law Recognizes and Creates Reasons for Action
Plato's Euthyphro poses an enduring problem about authority and normativity: is the pious loved by the gods because it is pious, or pious because they love it? In its theological formulation, the dilemma asks whether an action is good because God commands it or whether God commands it because it is independently good. This paper transfers the structure

In the Wake of Euthyphro's False Dilemma [PDF]
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 ...

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 ...
