Socrates is often considered the Father of Western Philosophy; however, most group him with his successors, Plato and Aristotle, as the Father's of Western Philosophy, also known as "The Big Three." One can argue that Thales is the true Founder of Western Philosophy due to his influence on Socrates. In regards to modern philosophy, René Descartes holds that title. There is no single person who owns the title of "The Father of Philosophy," considering how much of philosophy developed largely independently in different regions (i.e., Western and Eastern philosophy).
