Why do you think that Ptolemy was making Astronomy but not Philosophy? When thinking of Ptolemy's idea about taking the earth as the center of the universe and it is a place of imperfection, actually it is still quite right.
Generally we tend to think of us and our earth as the center of the universe, which is quite selfish and arrogant way of interpreting the relationship between us and the universe. Because of this distorted perception, we keep ruining our world from environment to ethics, both materially and morally. In this point of view, I find Ptolemy as a great critical thinker rather than a successful astronomer.
