All that being true, "philosophy" is also the name often given to an emerging science that has no name of its own; for example, physics used to be known as "natural philosophy" (despite Aristotle having used the word long before that).

"Natural philosophy" was not called that because it was an emerging science. It was called that because it was different from theology in the way Russel described.
