The Athenian philosopher Socrates was the "first" philosopher in many ways. Perhaps most important above all else, he was the first to make the claim that his wisdom, if wisdom it truly were, consisted solely of his knowledge that he didn't know anything at all with certainty.
Cato
It is difficult to say. Socrates is credited with saying, "Know thyself." He believed that knowledge is gained by means of questions, (like the people who write to WikiAnswers). He also believed that everything should be examined and questioned. * Benjamin Franklin wrote: Imitate Christ and Socrates. Christ once wrote something in the sand but brushed it away before anyone could read it. Socrates never wrote anything, and all of his teachings were oral. The students of Socrates, Plato among them, did the writing like the disciples of Christ. * In the opinion of this contributor, Socrates' notion of wisdom was to avoid being locked into ideas which never change and are never questioned.
Not 100% sure here, but I think the goal of Socrates was to learn the truth whatever it may be, good or bad, while Sophistry was the art of winning an argument for a "truth" which was already in acceptance.
