Question

Euthyphro gives several definitions of piety. Are you convinced by any of Euthyphro's definitions of piety? Why or why not? You should focus on one particular definition offered in the text and develop an argument for why it is a sufficient or insufficient definition. Note: Must reference the text. You can use Socrates' arguments from the text to support your own, but you should have at least one original idea for why Euthyphro's argument is sufficient or insufficient. If may prove helpful to reference the optional reading on good arguments (Bishop).
