If we first look to answering this question from the empiricism perspective of Aristotle and Locke, the answer would be a simple ‘it can not be done.’ Both Aristotle and Locke contended that one can acquire new knowledge only through the senses and accumulating those experiences to form knowledge and skill. For them, knowledge is inductive by nature. Aristotle, who laid the foundation for the scientific method, argued that we use our sensory perception to take in particulars and then use reasoning powers to understand what our senses perceived. Locke argued that the only knowledge humans can have is based on experience (“a posteriori”). In Book I of Locke’s Essay Concerning Human Understanding, he argues against innate knowledge and the Cartesian split between mind and body—beliefs held strongly by the rationalist philosophers. In Book II, Locke then presents his theory of knowledge being one where all knowledge is acquired through either our senses or from reflecting on our experiences in the physical world. Interestingly, Locke still supports the Cartesian Dualism of the mind/body split—even though the mind gathers data from the sensory world, Locke argues that knowledge is an intellectual event still in a world separate from the physical one.
