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.

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

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 ...
