It is unclear what is meant by "philosophy of Islam", since Islamic philosophy did not really engage Shiite Islam; it was primarily done by Sunni Muslims.
If the question is asking about religious differences, the key really lies in successorship to the Prophet Mohammed, both in his earthly domains (i.e. the ruler of the Islamic State) and his spiritual qualities (i.e. his perfection as a person and instrument of God). The Sunnis believe that revelation ended with Mohammed and that the Islamic States should be ruled by qualified individuals chosen in any viable mechanism. The Shiites believe that revelation continued after Mohammed through the lips of the Infallible Imams (of which there were 5, 7, 11, or 12, depending on which form of Shiite Islam a person practices) and that only those appointed by God from Mohammed's family have the right to rule Islamic States.
