Is something good because god commands it?
Or does god command it because its good?
Personally I think the second.
But why does god act in accordance with good?

Euthyphro dilemma
/pg/ - Plato General
Icebreaker: What was the last dialogue you read? What were you thoughts on it?
I finished Euthydemus last week: way more chaotic than any other Plato dialogue, but ultimately to its detriment. The constant slandering is funny to begin with, but the arguments are too retarded to be taken seriously, not that they're ever given much time because Euthydemus and Dionysodorus are more interested in insulting Socrates as a dementia-ridden boomer.

>"They that are well need no physician but rather those who are sick" [Matt. 9:12]. Christ reveals this to a crowd with respect to his [reason for] coming to earth. If, as he says, he confronted sin for the sake of those who are weak, what of our forefathers, our ancestors-were they not likewise diseased and weakened by sin? Those who are whole [he says] need no physician. He came [he says] not to call the righteous but sinners, as Paul also claims when he says, "Jesus Christ came into the world to save sinners, of which I am one of the greatest" [1 Tim. 1.5].
>If this is true, that those who have gone astray are called, and those who are diseased are healed, while the unrighteous [are] called and the righteous [are] not - then it follows that the one who is neither called nor in need of healing among the Christians would be a righteous man who had not gone astray. That is: he who needs no healing [is precisely] the man who turns his back on the word of faith; and the more he turns away from it the more righteous and whole he is and the less he goes astray.

Anon, which is the best philosopher for you and why?
Plato was right about democracy. The fact that the american "people" elected Trump is evidence of this
