Question

Socrates invokes the “prancing steeds” of this man in the Cratylus, where he credits a long lecture this man gave him at dawn with having divinely inspired his theory of names. William Alston cited Kant’s argument that a good will is not constrained by imperatives in the paper “What [this man] Should Have Said.” Socrates (15[1])tells this man “where there is reverence there is also fear” before asking him to clarify the meaning of “attending,” as in the phrase “the part of justice which attends to men.” In this man’s (*) namesake dialogue, Socrates asks him whether carrying is the same as being carried. Divine Command Theory is subject to a dilemma named (10[1])after this man, (10[1])who charges his father with murder shortly before Socrates’ own trial. For 10 points, what man’s namesake dilemma asks whether things are pious because they are dear to the gods or dear to the gods because they are pious? ■END■
