I'd say a major theme of 19th and 20th century science was the realization that philosophical musing isn't very useful for gaining knowledge about the world. IMO, a very good example of this is Gauss's realization that, not only isn't it self evident that space is Equclidean, but that it is an empirical question - he actually attempted to measure spatial curvature.
I don't think science today can be considered philosophical in any significant way. Methodological naturalism and empiricism are philosophical only in the waekest sense, in the same way that an engineer's philosophy is to adopt what works.
