Here's David Chalmers addressing that claim:
Did people in 1711 classify their work into "Math, Phys, Chem, Bio, and Phil"? What if ideas that we call Philosophy now are a subset of what someone in 1711 would be working on?
They wouldn't classify their work that way, and in fact I thought that was the whole point of surveying these other fields. Like, for example, a question for philosophers in the 1600s is now a question for biologists, and that's why we have to survey biologists to find out if it was resolved.
