Let's Discuss... Euthyphro’s Dialogue - Theme 1: Knowledge and Decision Making
Hosted by The Examined Life
Details
The Euthyphro is a Socratic dialogue written by the ancient Greek philosopher Plato. It is one of the earliest and most influential works of Western philosophy. The dialogue takes place in Athens, where Socrates meets Euthyphro, a young man who has gone to the courthouse to file a charge of murder against his own father, who is accused of murdering a man who was mistreating him. Socrates is interested in understanding the nature of piety (or holiness) and justice, and he engages Euthyphro in a conversation about these concepts.
In the Meetup session, I will provide a comprehensive summary of Euthyphro's dialogue, and then seek to explore and identify the relationship between the concept of knowledge and the concept of decision-making in the light of Euthyphro's dialogue.
