    The passage discusses the differences between Greek philosophers and later "scholastics" in their approaches to philosophy. The pre-Socratic Greek philosophers like Democritus, Thales, and Anaxagoras took a practical, empirical approach focused on observing the natural world rather than abstract speculation. They sought to understand reality and address real-world problems rather than get lost in philosophical debates. Later philosophers like Plato and Aristotle also took a broad view of philosophy applicable to all areas of human life and knowledge. This empirical, worldly approach of early Greek philosophers represented a paradigm shift compared to the narrow focus of later philosophers on obscure epistemological questions.

    Original Passage

    It was not so in Greece, where philosophers professed less, and undertook more. Parmenides pondered nebulously over the mystery of
    knowledge; but the pre-Socratics kept their eyes with fair consistency upon the firm earth, and sought to ferret out its secrets by
    observation and experience, rather than to create it by exuding dialectic; there were not many introverts among the Greeks. Picture
    Democritus, the Laughing Philosopher; would he not be perilous company for the dessicated scholastics who have made the disputes
    about the reality of the external world take the place of medieval discourses on the number of angles that could sit on the point of a
    pin? Picture Thales, who met the challenge that philosophers were numskulls by “cornering the market” and making a fortune in a
    year. Picture Anaxagoras, who did the work of Darwin for the Greeks and turned Pericles form a wire-pulling politician into a thinker
    and a statesman, Picture old Socrates, unafraid of the sun or the stars, gaily corrupting young men and overturning governments;
    what would he have done to these bespectacled seedless philosophasters who now litter the court of the once great Queen? To Plato,
    as to these virile predecessors, epistemology was but the vestibule of philosophy, akin to the preliminaries of love; it was pleasant
    enough for a while, but it was far from the creative consummation that drew wisdom’s lover on. Here and there in the shorter
    dialogues, the Master dallied amorously with the problems of perception, thought, and knowledge; but in his more spacious moments
    he spread his vision over larger fields, built himself ideal states and brooded over the nature and destiny of man. And finally in
    Aristotle philosophy was honoured in all her boundless scope and majesty; all her mansions were explored and made beautiful with
    order; here every problem found a place and every science brought its toll to wisdom. These men knew that the function of philosophy
    was not to bury herself in the obscure retreats of epistemology, but to come forth bravely into every realm of inquiry, and gather up all
    knowledge for the coordination and illumination of human character and human life.

    Precis

    Unlike Parmenides, the pre-Socratics chose the external visible objects to explore the world. They used the Philosophy to solve the
    real human life issues rather than to indulge themselves in the unproductive philosophical imaginations and discussions. Their new
    practicable approach towards Philosophy gave benefits to them in different fields of life. This approach was flourished by the
    contribution of different philosophers like Democritus, Thales, Anaxagoras, Plato,Aristotle etc. They focused on a broad and empirical
    perspective of Philosophy against a prevailing narrow and unrealistic perspective. Infact it was a paradigm shift to the field of
    Philosophy which enlightened the human character and life.

    Title = The empirical Philosophy or A paradigm shift to Philosophy or Real function of Philosophy.
