Greek philosophers such as Socrates, Aristotle, and Plato changed the way people viewed the natural world by using logic and reason to find answers. They created the first university in Ancient Greece, where they taught students to question and analyze the world around them. Prior to scientific explanations, common Greeks often looked towards the gods to explain natural events, believing that they were the cause of all phenomena. However, the Greek philosophers encouraged people to think critically and use observation to understand the natural world.
