A New Euthyphro Dilemma for Complex Theists with Daniel Vecchio and Pat Flynn
Published 1 year, 1 month ago
Description
Philosophers Dr. Daniel Vecchio and Pat Flynn are back to chat with Anthony Alberino about another paper that they've collaborated on titled "Euthyphro 2.0: The Metaphysical Dilemma of (God's) Essence and Existence." Daniel and Pat argue that theists who reject the classical notion of divine simplicity face an ontological priority problem that is structurally similar to the Euthyphro Dilemma. Moreover, they contend that to reject divine simplicity is to give up the principles needed for divine ultimacy and ontological grounding.
