<\/span>
<\/p>\n

1. Can you think of a way the Euthyphro dilemma could be given in response to the claim that human rights are determined by a supreme being? <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/p>\n

2a. If so, explain what would such a dilemma look like. <\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/p>\n

2b. If not, explain why not.<\/span><\/p>\n

<\/span>
<\/p>\n

Hint: I take it you’ll need to clearly state (1) what the Euthyphro dilemma is, (2) something about what you take human rights to be, and (3) how the former may (or may not) apply to the latter.<\/span><\/p>\n
