Justice and Pollution in the Euthyphro

Mark L. McPherran

R EADERS OF PLATOS EUTHYPHRO TYPICALLY FOCUS their attention on Socrates elenctic examination of Euthyphros five attempted definitions of piety () (1) piety is proceeding against whomever does injustice (5d-6e), (2) piety is what is loved by the gods (6e-9d), (3) piety is what is loved by all the gods (9e-11b), (4) piety is that part of justice which assists the gods to produce their most beautiful product (11e-14b), and (5) piety is an art of prayer and sacrifice (14b-15c). But although these argumentative episodes do very much form the explicit philosophical substance of the dialogue, the complex motivations which drive its participants also deserve careful scrutiny if we are to fully understand both them and the overall import of the dialogue. It seems clear that Plato himself wishes to provoke this sort of examination, since he provides an unusually complex and long dramatic prologue, amounting to roughly one-third of the dialogues length (one whose themes continuously inform the subsequent inquiry into piety). We would do well, then, to investigate one of the prologues most puzzling and yet least-discussed elements; namely, Euthyphros assertion that he is justified in prosecuting his father out of a concern for the the pollutionthat attends homicides of the sort he imagines his father to have committed, and because impartial justice demands it (4b7-c3). In this paper I shall argue for a novel account of this appeal, one which shows Euthyphro to be more morally and theologically progressive than he has been thought but which also freshly illuminates the way in which the Euthyphro serves as an indirect, nonforensic defense of Socrates.
