EUTHYPHRO

플라톤의 에우튀프로는 소크라테스와 에우튀프로 사이의 소크라테스적 논의이다.

Socrates encounters Euthyphro on the King Archon's porch in this exchange. Socrates informs him that he is ready to go to court to defend himself against Meletus' impiety charges. Euthyphro informs Socrates that he would go to court to prosecute his father for enslaving a worker and abandoning him to death. This has aroused the wrath of his own family, who believe his father was correct. They think that because the worker killed a coworker, they are immune from liability for abandoning him in the ditch to starve to death. Socrates asks Euthyphro to define piety because he appears to be confident in himself. In the courtroom, his assistance will clarify Socrates' argument.
