Pythagorus, who lived between 570–495 BC, was an early Greek philosopher who influenced both Plato and Aristotle and therefore all of Western philosophy as a whole. One of the Seven Sages of Greece during the 6th century BC, Thales is credited as being the first person in Western civilization to engage in scientific philosophy. Thales of Miletus, who lived between 624-545 BC, is considered by many, including Aristotle, to be the first Greek philosopher. In addition to playing a pivotal role in the development of Western philosophy, he was both a student of Socrates and a teacher of Aristotle. Known as the founder of both Western religion and spirituality, Plato, who lived between 428-347 BC, founded what is considered the first higher-learning institution in the West. Socrates was famously put on trial and convicted for supposedly corrupting the minds of youth and was forced to commit suicide.
Interestingly, he left no writings and is only known through the writings of others, most significantly his student Plato. He is also considered the first moral philosopher. Socrates, who lived between 470–399 BC, is considered one of the primary founders of Western philosophy.
