We refer to the man was one group of prescriptive. But in reality, they were brilliant independent thinkers.
They asked hugely ambitious scientific questions. What is the cosmos made of ? What is matter? And how do we perceive it. Their answers , in some cases, undermined the road of gods, as rulers of cosmos.
Their abstract theories, possibly conceive with the help of that scientific instruments, that the universe was made of essence of empty space, that water was fundamental elements of world. And the sun was one giant red hot rock what was wildly provocative. The scale and audacity of that thinking was breath- taking.
The prescriptive, not only structured the core of traditional belief. But they used reason and opened up a new way to look up the entirety of human experience and approach easily taken up by Socrates.
Some is not just tradition or myth or religious hierarchies, telling you how to make a sense of your world but rational debate, systemic thought, just like those other ground-breaking philosophers of the age, Confucius in China and Buddha in what now India. Socrates and his contemporaries are daring to harness the power of mind to explain the world around them. This is a quantum shift.
