Answer 2

Answer:

The first philosophers, the Pre-Socratics, distinguished themselves from others by providing naturalistic theories of the Universe, as opposed to religious ones. At the time, the only other intellectuals, really, were poets, such as Homer, Hesiod, and Theognis, who all wrote about the gods and their interference in life. However, Thales, regarded as the first philosopher, tried to explain life without using god, so he came to the conclusion that everything was water.I suppose you mean Western philosophers. Someone already mentioned the Pre-Socratics. they went further than the existing myths, and religious beliefs of their time.

Pre-Socratic philosophy is ancient Greek philosophy before Socrates and schools contemporary to Socrates that were not influenced by him.
