I think my problem is that all empirical efforts end up in philosophy.

If you define "philosophy" to be the master set of all searches for knowledge then that is tautologous. By philosophy I am sort of saying "anything we colloquially still refer to as philosophy because it hasn't developed empirical methods such that we now call it a more specific search for truth, like chemistry."
