Following this link will take you to a file hosting service from which you can download a pdf version of the reading due January 31st, which is Plato's dialogue entitled Euthyphro. The language used in the dialogue is rather easy to understand, but Socrates' mastery of logic and and a cross-examination method, actually known as the socratic dialectic (in his honor), combined with the fact that he is making a point that was philosophically unprecedented, will probably have you spinning in circles. Don't worry if this is the case. The Rachels book will help you understand Socrates' points, and I'll do the same during class.For those of you who work more efficiently through auditory perception, you can also follow this link to listen to an mp3 version of the same dialogue from LibriVox.

I hope I'm not alone on my thought that in the reading its based on looking at why ideas are right/wrong. God is mentioned as sort of a savior....if u believe he is. If u do not then the ideas of what is right/wrong will come from elsewhere.I do believe in god with out being able to touch or actually c him.Some rights/wrongs I also belive do not have to deal with god but what is publically accepted. Child abuse is not....Anywhere no matter where u r in the world...If sided against...there r laws awiting 2 prove u wrong and heavy jail time with buba.....
