Explanation:

The Sophists of the Greek focused on aspects that defined/explained reality and the characteristics related to reality in a broader range, i.e., to understand it more deeply beyond common senses, stimuli experienced by an individual in his/her life.

Socrates, who also taught to people (like Sophists) did not charge any fee for it (unlike Sophists). He believed that this is a part of every individual's life and it is our right to know about these basic values in a deeper way.

As a pivotal figure in Greek Philosophy, Socrates changed the dimension of thought and approach towards understanding life. Prior to Socrates, philosophers in Greek completely focused on physical and natural elements. But Socrates discarded the metaphysical element of it. He developed a process of teaching people moral, social and psychological elements to understand the same.
