Euthyphro

What is truly right—and who gets to decide?

In Euthyphro, Plato presents a powerful and thought-provoking conversation between Socrates and Euthyphro, set just before Socrates’ famous trial. As they discuss the nature of piety and morality, a simple question unfolds into one of philosophy’s most enduring debates: Is something good because the gods command it, or do the gods command it because it is good?

Through precise questioning and logical clarity, Socrates challenges assumptions about religion, ethics, and authority—inviting readers to examine their own beliefs about right and wrong.

Ideal for readers of philosophy, ethics, and theology, Euthyphro offers:

A timeless exploration of morality and religious belief One of the most famous questions in ethical philosophy Clear and engaging Socratic dialogue A foundational text for understanding Western thought

Short yet profound, Euthyphro continues to spark debate and reflection across generations.

What defines morality—belief, authority, or reason?
