• The Euthyphro can be examined from both the search for definitions, and as the struggle between two forms of life; the philosophical and the sophistical/pious. Why do you think, bearing these two aspects of the text in mind, that the text has an inconclusive ending? There are several issues that you will want to bear in mind: How do Socrates and Euthyphro represent different forms of living? Is Socrates' questioning fair? Does Euthyphro's inability to adequately respond to Socrates reflect the weaknesses of the sophistical/pious life?
