Didy, in a way you're right. The end itself is wisdom, and philosophy is by the meaning of the term itself is the love or the quest for wisdom. However philosophy as a science, remains to be speculative and not practical in most part. Philosophy is an end in itself is considered to be paramount in Aristotlean Philosophy.

But wisdom is not a science, and loving wisdom, or anything else, certainly is no science.
I agree that much of philosophy is speculative and of no practical value - metaphysics seems to depend on this sort of literature. Of course, I also consider the far flung metaphysics to be unwise - brilliant men striving to organize reality. In the process, they destroy reality; they pin themselves in to a certain language.
