Is an action good simply because God commands it, or does God command it because it is already good?
In this video, we explore Divine Command Theory. You will understand the real story behind theological ethics and the source of moral obligation, based on factual philosophical debates.
In this video you will discover:
• How Saint Augustine and John Duns Scotus debated whether moral laws are subject to divine will.
• The refinement of the theory by Robert Adams, who links obligations to God’s omnibenevolence rather than arbitrary whims.
• The challenges posed by the Euthyphro dilemma regarding the independence of goodness.
Despite objections regarding human autonomy and religious pluralism, the theory remains a central pillar for religions attempting to define the source of ethical obligation.
