Pre-Socratic philosophy refers to the intellectual movement that emerged in ancient Greece before the time of Socrates, spanning roughly from the 6th to the 5th century BCE. This period marked the beginning of systematic philosophical inquiry into the nature of the universe and the fundamental principles underlying reality. Their ideas influenced subsequent philosophical movements, including Plato's idealism, Aristotle's metaphysics, and the development of scientific inquiry in the modern era. Overall, Pre-Socratic philosophy represents a foundational period in the history of Western thought, characterized by bold speculation, critical inquiry, and the pursuit of truth through reason and observation.
