"Do you get philosophical on me?"
Does this mean "Do I make you being philosophical"? Or does this mean "Do you decide to tell about what I didn't ask"?
Is it rude?
What does generally mean this construction "get ..... on (someone)?"

the expression is usually a negative statement
"Don't get philosophical on me"
It means I want you to do something, but you start to talk about all the different ways that the action may not be ethical. I do not want you to think, just do it.

get own me means : don't be like that towards me =(you).
It is normally used in the negative using "don't" "don't get philosophical on me" don't be philosophical with me.
"don't get on x me" = don't be x with/to me

Было бы хорошо контекст посмотреть... Саму фразу можно переводить в зависимости от контекста.
