The philosophers of Ancient Greece made a major contribution to the development of western culture. Pre-Socratics were philosophers that came before Socrates. These philosophers questioned the nature of things. Socrates, Plato, and Aristotle are three of the most notable philosophers in history. “Philosophy was first brought into connection with practical life by Pythagoras of Samos (about 582-504 BCE), from whom it received its name: "the love of wisdom".” Socrates made his most essential contribution to the development of western civilization through his method of inquiry. He is predominately celebrated for his contribution to the field of ethics. Plato's convictions molded numerous thoughts that despite everything we consider to be essential.
