The term "Pre-Socratics" is usually used to indicate the group of philosophers preceding Socrates, not only from a chronological point of view, but above all from a theoretical point of view. Therefore, this definition includes the thinkers of the 6th-5th century BC, who are found on this side of an ideal watershed represented by Socratic thought. We have a limited and rather uncertain amount of information about these philosophers, due to the mythical and legendary narratives that are often intertwined with their biographies. Furthermore, we have mostly only short fragments of their works and the rest of the information available is taken from indirect sources, such as the first book of Aristotle's Metaphysics. One aspect that characterizes the origins of Greek philosophy, and therefore these thinkers, is the collective exercise of reflection. In these centuries, philosophy is radically considered a choral activity and is organized and developed around schools, places dedicated to sharing ideas under the guidance of a master. For this reason, it is common to group pre-Socratic authors according to the city and school to which they belong. Although the theories of these thinkers may appear unsatisfactory for their simplicity or even naive, they represent a progressive abandonment of the way of thinking of antiquity (characterized by mythical beliefs), constituting the first steps of rational thought. Therefore, they are still irreplaceable today not only for understanding the roots of Western culture, but also for a conscious questioning of contemporary reality. ????
