Please give these questions some time and really think about them.   They are questions that Plato asked.  I’ll later on write the answers he came with and how these answers were developed by later Philosophers.

Is an act moral because God says it is moral or does God recommend the act because it is moral ? Actually Plato used the word Gods since that was the Greek polytheism. In fact his mouthpiece Socrates talks about the point that at times (say the Trojan wars) the different Gods disagreed with each other and were on opposing sides.

The same question may be put another way: Is an act moral because an authority says it is moral or do we recognize an authority in morality because she recommends acts which are moral ? For now is what Nixon said (and Bush and Cheney followed) true, “If the president does it, it’s legal.”

Do abstract objects exist independent of other beings.  For examples do numbers exist whether humans, gods or other sentient beings exist? This comes from Plato’s theory of forms.

A final thing to ask is perfection the unchanging or is getting better and change the way of the universe?
