A few thinkers questioned the majority concept and proposed that humans should accept responsibility for what happens in life and that death is neither a reward nor a punishment, but simply a natural event.

It signified a cheat or charlatan, a fraud, a pretender to wisdom only, someone interested in personal success rather than truth and ethical principle; a verbal trickster who plays games with language and argument, arming demagogues with powerful rhetorical weapons; a philosophical relativist, skeptic, and atheist.
In contrast, the Sophists turned their attention to the world of human affairs: ethics, politics, rhetoric, language, argument, statesmanship, business, law, etc. As such, they effect a reflective turn in the history of Greek philosophy and culture, a problematization of the human world in general.
