The fourth definition, which Socrates pointed at, was that perhaps piety could be apart of justice. Euthyphro then says “piety appears to be the part of justice that attends to the gods” (pg 19).

Kant says “I am never to act otherwise that so that I could also will that my maxim should become a universal law” (pg 199). If everyone was able to follow my maxim then it can be deemed morally right. According to this theory it would never be acceptable to lie, not everyone would be able to follow that
