follows‚ I will explain what unrestricted divine command theory tries to accomplish‚ why Euthyphro’s dilemma poses a few significant problems to its views‚ and I will argue how embracing a restricted version of divine command theory can help avoid the obstacles the dilemma sets in place. It can be well argued that the unrestricted divine command theory is aimed to explain what is right and good depending on God’s commands. To understand the unrestricted divine command theory‚ one must understand the

tragic drama. The two main characters of the play are Antigone and Creon. There is much conflict between Antigone and Creon throughout the play‚ both of them having their own ideas and opinions regarding divine law versus human law. The theme that I am going to analyze is the conflict of divine law vs. human law. The reason for this is because this theme seems to control the whole play.

"A Divine Image" In his 1932 article‚ "An Interpretation of Blake’s "’A Divine Image‚’" Stephen Larrabee views the entire poem as a direct contrast to the "humanitarian idealism" (307) of "The Divine Image‚" with the author making direct line-by-line comparisons of the two. Not until 1959‚ however‚ does a critic actually examine Blake’s "virtues of delight." In his The Piper & the Bard: A Study of William Blake‚ Robert Gleckner traces the psychological roots of each of those virtues‚ while asserting

10-17-14 Divine Command Theory I believe to have a definite moral theory we need a guide to follow. Moral Nihilism states that we cannot have any moral truths because they are a human invention.

The drama Antigone by Sophocles written in the 5th century BC concerns the issue of man-made law versus divine law. This theme of confrontation has not been limited to ancient times alone but continues into our modern era. Everyday‚ not matter what the law‚ there are and always will be someone who does not agree with that law. If you take a look at congress in our modern era‚ there will always be confrontations between the Republicans and the Democrats as long as we live. It takes a lot of time and

Both also see divine intervention as something that can not be understood by humans; God or
