Plato once said: "Philosophy begins with wonder." Plato was right, but he didn't take into account an important factor regarding when people begin to question what they know in the world. When people question everything in the known world, the conclusions that emerge can change the way everyone in that world thinks. Most of these types of changes came from ancient Greek philosophy. The examples provided in this essay represent a shift from a mythological worldview to a more logical worldview. The first example arose from an eclipse. On May 25, 585 BC, a war raged between the Lydians and the Medes. During that war an eclipse occurred. The warring soldiers stopped fighting and began to contemplate the event. Given their worldview, their conclusion was that the eclipse was an omen from the gods. This further led them to believe that the gods did not want soldiers to fight in war. The reasoning behind the event stopped the war, although there was no message to decipher. The soldiers simply misunderstood this natural phenomenon. One person, along with others who had gained knowledge from a different worldview, understood why the event occurred. Thales, originally from Miletus, had used scientific knowledge to predict the eclipse. He understood that the eclipse was just the nature of things. Given what he knew to be true and the reactions of those around him, Thales began to question everything. Using reason and logic, Thales arrived at a conclusion that became controversial. As he reflected on what he knew about the earth and science, his first conclusion was that the first principle was water. Having the first principle be water was very controversial but... middle of the paper... death is a passage of the soul to another place. For Socrates, whatever the true belief, death was an advantage. Socrates' fate has left some speculation. When Socrates accepted his fate and died, he gave one of two answers to the court and the people involved in the case. Either Socrates accepted his accuser's arguments, or Socrates defied his accusers to his last breath. In any case, people saw Socrates as a figure who helped change the worldview by forcing people to justify their response. Any person can change a worldview. The best way to do this is to ask the “why” question and apply it to everything in the known world. When people question everything in the known world, the answers that emerge can change the way everyone in that world thinks. Many ancient Greek philosophers questioned everything and changed people's worldview from myth to logos.
