    For more than two centuries, writers, philosophers, and statesmen throughout the world have celebrated Plato as on of history's greatest thinkers. In his dialogues (399-60 BCE). Plato explores the great ideas of life, love, death, search for immortality-- and essentially what it means to be human. His dialogues are also full of biting social criticism. He rails at hypocrites, challenging politicians, teachers, and other leaders to rethink their morality and ethics. Unleashing the dramatic potential in the literary form of the dialogue, Plato creates lively, debates among different points of view that invite the reader to join the discussion.
    Dialogues of Plato - Euthyphro
    Is one of Plato's early dialogues, has been variously dated from 399 to 395 BCE, shortly after the death of Socrates in 399 BCE. Set in the weeks leading up to Socrates's trial, it features Socrates and Euthyphro, a religious expert who attempts to define piety or holiness.

    I wish they had us read things like this in school! I can't believe it took me twenty years to actually get into Socratic dialogue. The concepts open the mind, every question prompts the mind for a response.
    I wish to add what is almost certainly a very often thought thought. That is, to compare how Sophocles is accused of being the mover of argument, and Euthyphro said he would never have had these talks, To Euthyphro being the mover of his OWN argument, his fathers prosecution, and the courts having wished to also not engage in such prosecution. So Euthyphro is to the courts, as Socrates to Euthyphro, one without knowledge of the pious. And so as Euthyphro could not see the end of his own thought, he will not see the end of his prosecution, at least in a way he prefers.

    Euthyphro was not willing to admit that holiness is only what pleases the gods. He makes a bad argument, that certain acts are inherently holy, and therefore receive praise from the gods. More likely, the gods decide what is and is not holy based on their personal opinions.
    Correct: I sacrifice a lamb to Apollo. Apollo favors the sacrifice. Therefore, the sacrifice is holy.
    Incorrect: Sacrificing a lamb to Apollo is holy. Apollo favors holy acts. I perform the holy act, and therefore have done a thing favorable to Apollo.
    Euthyphro should have made a case against his father on legal grounds rather than grounds of impiety, which is a more difficult argument to make, since the will of the gods is difficult to pin down. Many of the gods’ actions contradict each other, making impiety hard to define. Much easier to make a manslaughter argument, which Euthyphro’s father’s actions seem to be an act of.

    Great reading, you can really feel why they made him drink that tasty cup of hemlock tea. The man had an infuriating logical progression that would make even a wise man question all that he knows. Socrates is the original, "Gas Lighting" master.
    Definition - Gaslighting is a form of manipulation that seeks to sow seeds of doubt in a targeted individual or in members of a targeted group, hoping to make them question their own memory, perception, and sanity.

    • @monkeybull445
      @monkeybull445 5 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      I would argue that Socrates is a master devil's advocate than a gaslighter. Gaslighting implies that you intend harm, where Socrates goals are to seek out the truth of the matter

      @patbau96 3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Leading someone in a conversation is just a strategy for arriving at the truth. He wanted Euthyphro to walk through his ideology logically (which he clearly hadn't done before) in order to confirm its validity. And he was very careful to confirm with him at various points whether or not they understood each other, and if the way he was leading him was appropriate.

    • @ReefBlastbody2
      @ReefBlastbody2 3 ปีที่แล้ว +5

      I recently read the Apology as recorded by Plato. Upon reexamination of Socrates's works and of his death, I think I may have been unduly harsh with him. They actually had to accuse him of Daemon worship and the corruption of the youth of Athens. I suspect the true reason he was executed was that, he asked too many questions and this in turn revealed a lot of the inadequacies of Athenian leadership at the time.
