Best Answer

A Philosopher from Athens Greece. He never wrote anything but was the teacher of Plato who started the first University. Plato was in turn the teacher of Aristotle whose writings are basically the foundation of all European and Western education.

Before Socrates Philosophers for the most part argued over things such as whether water air or some other substance made up the universe.

Socrates was the first Philosopher to suggest that we attempt to understand the world in terms of abstract principles.
