Philosophy literally means "love of wisdom." This is why we call the highest degree in many fields "Doctor of Philosophy".
Originally it meant any kind of wisdom or knowledge, not just that of the specialized field we call "philosophy" today. That sense of the word has largely been replaced by the word "science," so while writers of a couple of hundred years ago would have considered chemistry, physics, and Biology to be part of a larger category called "natural philosophy", today we would call them "natural sciences" or even just "science."
Another example occurs in Hamlet. When Hamlet says "There are more things in Heaven and Earth, Horatio, than are dreamt of in your philosophy" he basically just means "Horatio, there's stuff you don't know about."
