Just one minor point of clarification:  Philosophy --in what I would 
consider to be the proper sense-- can be considered a super-set of just 
about every cognitive discipline.  It may be one of the world's biggest 
umbrellas. After all, science was born out of philosophy.

That said, philosophy is not limited to what kinds of questions it can* 
attempt to answer - e.g. not just 'why' but also 'what'.
