Euthypyro
A PATH LEADING TO HOLY
In “Euthyphro” Socrates argue that what piety is. Maybe the strongest argument is that every terms; I mean piety, being loved, god-loved, have own meanings. One differs from the other. In this paper, I will mention that strong and weak arguments premises, steps which Socrates did.
The main argument of Socrates is that being loved by gods and god-loved is not the same as the pious. They are the affects and qualities. I think, Socrates want to emphasize active and passive voice. He firstly talks about something loving and something loved. In case of something loved, there is one who loves. In that point, he argues “being loved” and says that “it is being loved because it is pious, but it is not pious because it is being loved.”(10-d)
First step of Socrates is that he said to Euthyphro god-loved is not the same as the pious nor the pious the same as the god-loved. At first he divide two terms and then second step is that he said the pious is being loved for this reason. I think he means that for some reasons we act or do something because of such actions we are being loved by gods. And then he adds some extras; “But it is not pious because it is being loved.” He means that they are different; the pious is the pious, being loved is being loved and god-loved is god-loved. Third step of Socrates is that being loved is not god-loved because god-loved is god-loved. Actually he means, I think, they have own definition and none of them define what piety is. Therefore, he conclude, “ If the god-loved and the pious were the same, then if the pious was being loved because it was pious, the god-loved would also be being loved because it was god-loved; and if the god-loved was god-loved because it was being loved by gods, then the pious would also be pious because it was being loved by the gods.”(11-b)
