^^ Pretty much the way I see it too. To my way of thinking, philosophy is about thinking your way into a set of problems where the way of it is not yet defined. As such, philosophy gives rise to fields with well defined methodologies. You shouldn't compare it to its 'children' however. Its scope is much wider but its objectives are always to-be-determined.
I actually like this wide open aspect of philosophy. It is philosophy seen as a history or body of literature which I'm not much interested in.
