Socrates 470–399 BC
-
Though Socrates himself wrote nothing, his teachings, recorded in the writings of historians and especially his pupil Plato, have earned him the title of the forerunner of Western philosophy. At the height of the Golden Age of Athens, the original marketplace philosopher debated the great meanings in the Agora, and was eventually tried and put to death for corrupting the Athenian youth (see Socrates’ Prison).
