While philosophy play a role in the sciences, that does not make it a science. There are no 'laws' to philosophy(though it helps create laws). Anything and everything is open to exploration. Science, on the other hand, specifically deals with what can be observed and proven. Philosophy allows for leaps of faith, and it is possible. Hard science does not. The main purpose of philosophy is to explore the human condition in less 'defined' terms than would science.

The ultimate goal of philosophy is to explore and attempt to explore the human condition, much like the rest of the humanities, and there is no hard and fast way to be human. The ultimate goal of science, on the other hand, is to define the universe in terms we can understand.

To put it another way: Every person has his or her own philosophy, but at the end of the day everyone shares the same science. It doesn't matter who you are, the speed of light is an absolute limit(at least at present). All people are subject to linear time, but not all people are subject to the same religious leanings.

Ethics and morals are a product of philosophy. Not science. But they 'are' an example of why philosophy, and the other humanities, are important to science.

Regarding magi-tek(I think that's the term he used), he didn't explain specifics. But he sort of hinted that devices powered by magic would be usable by anyone as long as the device has a power source.
