Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'philosophical' (relating to philosophy) combined with 'system' (a set or organized structure) yields 'a system of philosophy' or a set of doctrines. This follows a common noun‑noun composition pattern found across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words can readily infer the MWE meaning.
Etymology
Philosophical system shows many philosophical ideas working as one system, like gears in a machine or steps on a map that fit together to guide thought. That's why it means 'a set of beliefs' that work together and are accepted by a group.
