The way I see it, Science has changed by a lot since the 1850s.I assume Philosophy has decided rather to stay with the linguistics department.
I always knew I would regret underestimating you. And now I am.
Aright, yes Philosophy asks a few questions, especially on the basis on emotion and the reality of the universe.
Often you might see, that science, talks about entropy, the idea of dimensions.
These originated from Philosophy itself. Religion, science, and social structure and culture are intertwined with it.
Although yes, you might think, that it was a parting of ways, you do not deny that science is in-fact a creation of Philosophy.
And in doing so, you do not deny its importance.
The thirst for answers is essentially the ideal behind the philosophy itself.
Although you might find it pointless and much talk, it is talk that has existed for thousands of years, the same questions, the same reasons to explore.
You see Philosophy asks the deeper and more profound questions, basing its anvil on logic, and like every other human creation, it is flawed.
But lets talk about science, about the quest for a better life. Does it not create problems, the influx of carbon in the atmosphere etc, power.
Philosophy does not tend to bring in any of this.
You might argue, that it is because it does nothing, I will argue, that it choses not to, because it will make the same mistake science did.
