Cont.Euthyphro & Socrates
II TEXT | PLATO, EUTHYPHRO(c) Criticism – Christians today do not justify their ethics in that way. For Christian God’s word settle ethics. (i) Christianity & the question put to Euthyphro (ii) The dismissal of religious ethics (d) The Divine Command theory of morality: Good because God allows it and bad because God forbids it. Most philosophers dismiss this view.
IS CHRISTIAN ETHICS DIVINE COMMAND ETHICS?
II TEXT | PLATO, EUTHYPHROIs Christian ethics Divine Command ethics?5 |The religious justification of ethics“The assumption that we need God for the ethics” Is there something God cannot do?

Divine standards or human standards as a false dichotomy?
Do we put religion above morality?
