Last semester I took my first Philosophy class. We studied Plato's dialogues on Socrates for a big portion of the class. I plan on taking some more philosophy classes next semester so I am reviewing what I studied last semester to prepair. I'm new to philosophy and am still trying to figure things out.
In the Euthyphro i'm trying to figure out the elenctic method. Do you think it is a useful method or problematic?
Personally I think it's a good tool to use, but I can't figure out WHY I think this. It can cause some problems. How does socrates use the 'elenchus' to refute the definitions of piety that Euthyphro gives?
Do you have any other good points about the Euthyphro? Any other discussions?

UGH, I had to take philosophy training in college and hated it so very plenty. I wish i could desire to enable you to yet I handed all my philo training with a C, and that replaced into in basic terms because of the fact I confirmed up for each type (and did no longer fall asleep). good success!
