From a reader:
Jonah-
Regarding todayโs reader responding to yesterdayโs reader, Iโm not entirely sure what heโs talking about. To my understanding, the Euthyphro dilemma doesnโt make Divine Command Theory go โpoof,โ since Ockham decimated it. Indeed, it seems a bit disingenuous to refer to it as the โEuthyphro fallacyโ since it isnโt a fallacy at all. (Google โEuthrphryo fallacy,โ then โEuthphryo dilemma,โ see how many results each gets back (answer: zero, 692 respectively). Your reader may not *like* the theistโs answers to the โemptinessโ and โabhorrenceโ problems, but that doesnโt mean he can pretend they donโt exist or are fallacious.
Hereโs a quick review of the problem and answers.
Hope this helps fuel the fire,
