yes, of course philosophy has use in helping understand many metaphysical issues in life--i guess what I'm asking about are the applications that are of practical significance beyond those types of questions. for example, wittgenstein helped the progress of science in his arguments for precisely defining terms used. russell/whitehead provided proof of the limitations of all theorems in principia mathematica. are there any other such examples?
