Assuming the form Robert gives, my suggestion is:
'Psychologists seem ...; philosophers in how they do what they are doing.'
I want to suggest that there is a sense of normativity involved in
doing philosophy that isn't quite as pronounced in psychology.
Consider Wittgenstein and wanting to help the fly out of the bottle, a
desire that goes somewhat beyond mere looking.
