Frankly? people with too much time on their hands...afterall you cant philosophise when your constantly battling survival with work and trying to survive and exist.

Answer:

According to most modern philosophers, the origin of philosophy belongs to Socrates. He went to the Oracle at Delphi and the Gods told him he was the wisest man in Athens. Confused by this he went about town asking questions, for example he would ask a priest, "What is piety?" or a judge "What is justice?" He learned that until one admits he knows nothing, only then can he begin to learn. Philosophy is the love of wisdom, so Socrates is known as the father of philosophy. Unfortunately for him, and for mankind, he was convicted of corrupting the youth and sentenced to death. Plato and Aristotle were among his students.
