Document Summary
Euthephro: what brings euthyphro to court, euthephro goes to court to start a trial against his dad for unjustly killing a slave. What does socrates say about seers in the. Why does socrates reject it: euthephro"s first definition of piety is what i am doing now. euthephro begins to list examples of pious things, like charging someone for murder or other crimes. Why is it important to socrates: eidos is greek for essence. Why does socrates reject it: the fourth definition is that piety is a part of justice, concerned with ministering to the gods to make them better. Socrates rejects this because he says that humans cannot make the gods better. How is this a return to the second definition: the fifth definition euthephro gives is that piety is offering proper sacrifice and praise to the gods. Socrates refutes this yet again by asking why the gods accept his sacrifice and praise.
