I mean philosophy, metaphysics and philosophy of mathematics have over 2k years of history and the only example of the influence that I know it had was that ancient Greeks didn't want to use 0 in accordance with the rule that being is and non-being is not, similarly with Pythagoreans hiding the existence of irrational numbers. If you know of some examples which had positive effect then I would really like to know about them and this is not a sarcasm or anything. I just fail to see the importance of the debate. |
