Postmodernist's would disagree with you heavily that the two domains intersect.

Philosophy goal is uncover truth where science is restricted mostly to the realm of facts and empirical truths.

An example would be the question of the meaning of life, science has little ability to answer this question other that to claim it doesn't actually exist or it's just a complex expression of atoms working together where with philosophy there are countless ways to answer this age old question.



This may sound absurd, but you actually need some (mostly settled) philosophy to determine what “facts and empirical truths” are.
