About this listen

In Euthyphro, Socrates is on his way to the court, where he must defend himself against serious charges brought by religious and political authorities. On the way he meets Euthyphro, an expert on religious matters who has come to prosecute his own father. Socrates questions Euthyphro's claim that religion serves as the basis for ethics. Euthyphro is not able to provide satisfactory answers to Socrates' questions, but their dialogue leaves us with the challenge of making a reasonable connection between ethics and religion.

This is the only recording I can find where it actually feels like a genuine conversation.

Perhaps not the best translation compared with the Hackett translation, but as an audiobook far far superior. Listen to this over any other.

Ray Childs please continue recording the rest of Plato’s works, please!
