I would answer by a comparison with religion:

Philosophy is looking for answers on how work things in the rational.

Religion is looking for answers on how work things in the rational plus the irrational.

Religion use to be more powerful than philosophy because the human being has both sides: the rational one and the irrational one.

Sorry if I hijacked.
