Question #1: Euthyphro’s Dilemma At Euthyphro 9e‚ Euthyphro claims that the pious is that which is loved by all the gods. In effect‚ he is claiming that the pious and the god-loved are identical. In reply to this claim‚ Socrates argues that “If the god-loved and the pious were the same‚ my dear Euthyphro‚ then if the pious was being loved because it was pious‚ the god-loved would also be being loved because it is god-loved.” Socrates is essentially arguing that if the ‘pious’ and the ‘god-loved’

Paradox Essay One of the generalities about men is that we are distasteful‚ discontented‚ disdainful people. We spend days searching for our successes‚ and are never satisfied with those we chose to achieve.

of Icarus‚ Brueghel and Williams use imagery to suggest that humans are oblivious to the pain of others. In the painting Landscape with the Fall of Icarus‚ Pieter Brueghel portrays humans as insensitive and uncaring of the suffering of others. In the painting‚ Brueghel shows a fisherman fishing feet away from Icarus‚ but is not paying any attention to him (Brueghel). The fisherman is too concerned with himself to notice a man dying. He keeps fishing‚ and does not stop to acknowledge Icarus struggling

of The Fall of Icarus. When I saw the cartoon I had a smile on my face because I thought it was cute and a little ironic at the same time. The “Caution: Keep out of direct sunlight” sign on the box was actually a nice allusion to Icarus’ father’s caution about not flying close to the sun. In Greek mythology‚ Icarus is a brilliant character because even though he made a mistake that lead to his demise‚ he’s somehow a symbol for being fearless and limitless. Technically speaking‚ Icarus might have survived

Epicurean Paradox The problem of evil‚ also known as the Riddle of Epicurus‚ states: If God is willing to prevent evil‚ but is not able to Then He is not omnipotent. If He is able‚ but not willing Then He is malevolent. If He is both able and willing Then whence cometh evil. If He is neither able nor willing Then why call Him God?
