#euthyphro — Public Fediverse posts

@[email protected]

#Socrates is credited with being founder of classic philosophy, in the centuries that followed after him, given that his proteges educated young Alexander in the court of Philip. He was not considered the founder of philosophy in his own time; philosophers in his age were a dime a dozen.

Socrates introduced #Euthyphro's dilemma, which suggested that divine command theory could not be coherent in #polytheistic #context. He did not realize that he refuted #polytheism, rather than divine command theory.
