Please view the photographs for a better understanding of this important book.Euthyphro c. 399â€“395 BC by Plato is a Socratic dialogue whose events occur in the weeks before the trial of Socrates 399 BC between Socrates and Euthyphro. The dialogue covers subjects such as the meaning of piety and justice. As is common with Plato's earliest dialogues it ends in aporia.In this dialogue Socrates meets Euthyphro at the porch of the archon basileus the 'king magistrate' at that time. Socrates tells him that he is preparing to go to court against the charges of Meletus on the grounds of impiety. Euthyphro tells Socrates that he is going to court himself to prosecute his father for binding a worker in chains and leaving him to die. This has granted him the ire of his own family who believe his father was in the right. The worker had killed a fellow worker which they believe exempts his father from liability for leaving him bound in the ditch to starve to death. Since Euthyphro seems assured of himself Socrates asks him to define piety. His help will clarify Socrates' case in the courtroom. If Socrates is asked to define piety he can simply rely on Euthyphro's definition. This however leads to the main dilemma of the dialogue when the two cannot come to a satisfactory conclusion. Is something pious because the gods approve of it Or do the gods approve of it because it is pious This aporic ending has led to one of the longest theological and meta-ethical debates in history.Characters<ul><li>Socrates the Athenian philosopher. He questions the nature of piety in this dialogue.</li><li>Euthyphro the Athenian prophet. His father owned land on the island of Naxos. His father's harsh treatment of a paid servant a thetes under the Solonian Constitution leads to Euthyphro raising charges against him. According to his own statements in this dialogue his claims to prophecy and divination were considered a joke to other Athenians. He attempts to provide Socrates with a definition of piety but none are sufficient. It is entirely possible as well that Euthyphro was created by Plato as a literary device. His name in ancient Greek is ironically "straight thinker" or "Mr. Right-mind." A combination of Îµá½Î¸ÏÏ‚ euthys which means straight or direct and Ï†ÏÎ¿Î½ÎÏ‰ phroneÃ´ which means to think or to reason. If Euthyphro and his father were historical people then this places the murder charges brought by Euthyphro and the main actions of this dialogue sometime between 405 BC and 399 BC when the Athenian settlers were expelled from the Island of Naxos after the defeat at the Battle of Aegospotami.</li></ul> Cambridge University Press. hardcover
