--- title: "SU-PHIL2 APR082025" source: https://www.jemoka.com/posts/kbhsu_phil2_apr082025/ date: 2025-04-08 --- Recall Moral Theory. Euthyphro’s Dilemma Euthyphro’s Dilemma is a question regarding the order of explanation. Assumes: Gods approve piety Question: Do Gods approve piety because its pious or is the pious called pious because the Gods say so? translating for a monotheistic context: Assumes: God approve piety Question: Does God approve or command moral behavior because its moral (objective) or is stuff moral because Gods approves or commands it (subjective). Objectivisim vs. Subjectivisim objectivisism Truths, or some aspects of reality, that does not dependent on some features of objects/feature. “mind-independent” This doesn’t render God out of a job because God is just teaching you the morality in this case. counter-arguments badish metaphysics and epistomology not arbiturary subjectivism Truths, or aspect or reality, depends on or is explained by some feature of objects/feature. “mind-dependent” counter-arguments “if morality is subjective to God, God can command you to do literally anything and does that stay moral?” arbitrary power, no normative basis arguments good metaphysical + epistemological explanation. Divine Command Theory command theories says that moral rightness depends on what commands/approves of.
