Current science does a pretty good job of explaining the what, and sometimes the how. But it doesn't do a good job of explaining the "why", or in other words, why do we like certain experiences and dislike others?
There's also a gap in explaining how much our consciousness contributes to observable behavior. Like why do some people feel stress when others might feel excitement by the same stimuli? How much of behavior is explained by chemical processes in the brain, and how much relies on "personality"?
Some of that is closer to science, and some is closer to philosophy, but I do think science has a role to play in helping to guide philosophical thought.
