In Athens, in the fifth century B.C., a remarkable mind placed the human being at the center of philosophical thought and posed the important question of how a person should live in order to attain happiness. Before Socrates, philosophy had mostly focused on questions about the origin and function of the cosmos. It was with Socrates that philosophy became anthropocentric and began to examine questions about human existence and well- being. His philosophical outlook was based on an introspection of oneself with a view to improving one’s soul and getting closer to moral truth, but it also aimed at a more universal consideration of our existence as members of a moral community.
