Socrates and Plato were scientific philosophers. Without the tools to study things, they used their minds to study the probabilities of things, and based on logic, and logical arguments based on questions and deductions, they concluded that x had to exist, such as Descartes, determining the existence of his very self. They looked like scientists to the knowledges that existed to them in their time and asked why and how, something could be known, and how something could be known. If not for these groundbreaking philosophers, there would have been no basis for scientific exploration. The only difference is the apparatus.
