I think that's somewhat unfair to philosophers. Besides the fact that science grew out of philosophy, even today philosophers are very good at defining problems and finding logical inconsistencies. As a scientist, that seems very useful indeed. To understand the brain on a "physical level", we have to know what questions we're asking first.
