Perhaps the most famous Western philosopher of all, Socrates bears the curious distinction of being famous while never having personally written down (or otherwise recorded) his "philosophy." At the same time, judging by the many writings about Socrates that have been preserved through the centuries, it is clear that he was above all a "moral philosopher"; that is, he was mostly concerned with answering whatever questions would help human beings -- and himself -- to become really and truly good.

Socrates is considered to be the Founder of Western Philosophy and although he explored every branch of philosophy, his main interests were epistemology and ethics. I suppose one could say he was a "good philosopher."
