Problem
I. Define either DCT or natural law, and then explain the Euthyphro dilemma. What's the obstacle to using God to solve the grounding problem?
II. If we can't make a convincing argument that morality is grounded in God, where does that leave us? Does this alarm you?
III. Choose two of the other theories (Egoism, Social Contract, Utilitarianism, Objectivism, Subjectivism, and Relativism, Metaethics) Theory that we've discussed so far this term, and apply them to a hot-button topic of your choice. What is the ethical solution to the problem, according to each of the two theories?
IV. Imagine Socrates and Euthyphro discussing one of the two theories. Try to explain how it solves the metaethics question, the grounding problem.
V. Which ethical theory is the most plausible? Which one would you claim as the one that best speaks for you? Why?
