I think philosophy certainly once aspired to address all fundamental questions that could be thought at a time when levitated assertions played a large part in attempting to answer any fundamental questions, hence the existence of moral and natural sides of philosophy. Gradually in natural philosophy where verification and objective elucidation is more easily obtained, scientific method supplanted idle assertion as the preferred method for reliable advancements. It would be a self-inflicted loss to philosophy if it were now excludes a part of itself merely because that part has raced ahead in techniques for achieving the goal common to all area of philosophy.
For the rest of philosophy, I do not believe their endeavors are in principle beyond natural science. I think if perception and cognitive conception can be elucidated in detail, then artifacts of perception and cognitive conception such as non-contingent and necessary will lose their appeal as objects of levitated assertions.
