Weren't they basically scholars? I'd imagine they did the equivalent of what university professors do today... teach and research |

Yup. They taught others for the most part. Most of them were teachers before they were philosophers.

That or they were already quite well to do, either from their own business exploits or from a parent's wealth.
They could afford to sit around and wax poetic about society's problems with other philosopher friends.

They were either rich bums or the owners of schools that would teach other philosophers. End of thread.

Remember, "philosophy" back then included lots of hard sciences.
