De qué trata
Camino del juicio que lo condenará, Sócrates le pregunta a un hombre que está denunciando a su propio padre qué es la piedad. No sobrevive ninguna de las cinco respuestas.
Contexto e historia
El primero de los cuatro diálogos del proceso de Sócrates, y el origen de una pregunta que la teología no ha acabado de masticar: ¿lo santo es santo porque los dioses lo aman, o los dioses lo aman porque es santo? Planteada aquí hacia el 380 a. C., todavía se llama el dilema de Eutifrón.

SOCRATES: They have differences of opinion, as you say, about good and evil, just and unjust, honourable and dishonourable: there would have been no quarrels among them, if there had been no such differences--would there now? EUTHYPHRO: You are quite right. SOCRATES: Does not every man love that which he deems noble and just and good, and hate the opposite of them? EUTHYPHRO: Very true. SOCRATES: But, as you say, people regard the same things, some as just and others as unjust,--about these they dispute; and so there arise wars and fightings among them. EUTHYPHRO: Very true. SOCRATES: Then the same things are hated by the gods and loved by the gods, and are both hateful and dear to them? EUTHYPHRO: True. SOCRATES: And upon this view the same things, Euthyphro, will be pious and also impious? EUTHYPHRO: So I should suppose.…
