The Presocratic and Sophist Philosophers

Question: Define the question for the Presocratics or Sophists, then explain how you view these questions in your own life? Answer: It is the fact that new way of enquiring world and places having human beings in it had introduced by the presocratic philosophers. Here the discovery of humanity gets started. They pondered some questions one of them is, what is the role of myth in prehistoric culture? The presocratic philosophers consider myth as philosophy cradle (Runia, 2008). It is my opinion that, the world prehistoric people living in it could not be understand by themselves or another case is they may be confusing about the things they are observing or had mysterious ideas about it and hence myth has been used by them as a way of explaining natural phenomena. Hence it is my conclusion that Important role has been played by myth in order to explain unknown things like world creation, how season passes and constellation shape. Sophists ideas about ethics? And it is another question pondered at the time of discovering humanities by philosopher. Sophists explain their ideas about ethics which was disliked by other philosophers. But according to my point of view I do not mind their ethical ideas because every human being has their own right to live as they want and if it would not hurting me or any other then they should follow their own ethics.
