Pre-Socratic refers to ancient Greek philosophers who lived and philosophized before the time of Socratic philosopher Socrates (circa 469-399 BC). These philosophers are known for their inquiries into subjects such as cosmology, metaphysics, and the nature of reality. As a group, they largely set the foundations for Western philosophy. However, their works are mainly known through later summaries and discussions rather than direct writings. Pre-Socratic philosophers include figures like Heraclitus, Pythagoras, and Thales of Miletus.
