Beyond the Euthyphro Dilemma: Divine Nature as the Ground of Moral Goodness

open access: yes
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

open access: yes
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?

A way out of the Euthyphro dilemma

open access: yesReligious 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.
