Euthyphro and Meno
Plato
Two early dialogues: what makes an act pious, and whether virtue can be taught. Both end without an answer, which is the point.
Why you should read this
Two early Socratic dialogues paired for teaching: the Euthyphro interrogates whether piety is loved by the gods because it is pious or pious because the gods love it, and the Meno asks whether virtue can be taught. Standard starting point for undergraduate ethics and epistemology courses.
