The first thing that comes to mind in wich philosophy plays an important role it's politics , there isn't much that science can do to improve it at the moment. You could say that historians can do a proper analysis of the past in order to see were we did wrong and go for there but you will still need a philosopher to draw conclusions and maybe think of a better system .
It can be argued that psychology can be used to improve politics wich is recognized as a science( but is it ?).Psychology may have parted away from philosophy but that doesn't mean it is a well established field, more like 50 - 50 , maybe more for philosophy , even if you take into account neuroscience the lines are stil blury. The field isn't unified, it is hard to draw conclusions from the results of a research, it does research like "10 things that might make you a dick-slaper" when it hasn't even covered the basics.
Mainly when it comes to the human mind( brain) and human interaction philosophy still plays a very important part.
Edit: It is so unstable that Robert Epstein wich has a PhD in psychology after some research sayed that we may all be bisexual ,a thing that Freud sayed that 100 years ago and it was refuted ,may come in to play again.
