Socrates

A paper at least three pages, double-spaced. The claims made in your paper should be supported through careful engagement with the text. I welcome you to contact me if you have any questions or if you would like any assistance.

Why do you think, bearing these two aspects of the text in mind, that the text has an inconclusive ending?

There are several issues that you will want to bear in mind:

1.) How do Socrates and Euthyphro represent different forms of living? Is Socrates’ questioning fair?

Does Euthyphro’s inability to adequately respond to Socrates reflect the weaknesses of the sophistical/pious life?
