Socrates contributed

Socrates also broke the ancient Greeks' crazy worship of man himself. He used his own actions to prove that people are very humble in front of nature, but human beings don't need to feel inferior, and they can use their wisdom to obtain a correct world outlook. Socrates also seeks a universal definition of things. Socrates opposes relativism and thinks that there is only one truth in things.

But the view on things is not unique, because it will change with time and place. Socrates also emphasized the importance of goodness, believing that goodness is the foundation of everything, which laid the foundation for later idealism.
