What are the scope , breath and units of ethics according to the following theorist : Plato 's Euthypro and Republic

Plato . Scope : The freedom of choice of a man is very dangerous and harmful phenomenon . The man can not choose what is holy and unholy and so the only thing directing the person in life if fear . The fear of the gods would have saved you from the danger of acting wrongly , and you 'd have been cursed in front of human beings

Breath : since the essence of every phenomenon , including life of

breathing creatures is to fulfill a certain function . In these measures men should fulfill their function - to live proper life for the good of the city-state . But life is not a function of a soul , but its proper quality
