Has Continental philosophy made direct or indirect contributions to anything other than philosophy itself, like analytic has via math and possibly logic/computer science?
The only instance I'm definitely aware of is Lawvere using aspects/ideas of Hegelian philosophy to generate certain ideas within Category/Topos Theory.

>direct or indirect contributions to anything other than philosophy itself
It appears you have no clue about Deleuze on architecture, Debord and Baudrillard on media, Hubert Drefyus on artificial intelligence research (seriously go and read the funniest article in the entirety of Wikipedia right now), in literary studies you have Barthes, the man that murdered the Author...

But these are all very recent examples, why don't we go all the way back, to Kant's Critique of Judgement and its effects on Romanticism's quest for the Sublime? Even a guy like Goethe who wasn't the biggest fan of the aptly named Kant, and the writing thereof, had to acknowledge the Third Critique.

Or what about certain political movements and that guy, what's his name again, Hmm... I think it was Xarl Mark? Something like that.

If aything it's analytic philosophy that has to prove itself, matey.

Analytic "political" "philosopher" Rawls is held up as a heroic visionary when in fact he was a fucking idiot celebrity who wrote a book full of big words.

I'm aware of Dreyfus' contributions to AI but I'm not sure they hold up as well as they used to, then again it's been a while since I remember looking into that stuff. The others I'm not aware of to be fair.
> Or what about certain political movements and that guy, what's his name again, Hmm... I think it was Xarl Mark? Something like that.
I consider political ideologies to largely be an aspect of philosophy itself.

Ok

Lots of stuff with literary theory, political philosophy, anthropology, psychology (via psychoanalysis), jurisprudence. I suppose you would be aware of this, and maybe could count some of these as philosophy (lots of literary theory is heavily indebted to hermeneutics and phenomenology). I suppose I could make a big list.

If you mean stuff outside of these. Umberto Eco was a trained medieval philosopher, and wrote a lot on semiotics and postmodernism. His outside stuff would be his literary output, his semiotics, his literary theory.

Gilles Châtelet is a continentally-influenced mathematician. Nothing ground breaking similar to some of the analytics in math, but he contributed to continental philosophy of science and also was known for cultural criticism outside philosophy.

Another continental philosopher of science is Fernando Zalamea who is influenced by a bunch of earlier continental philosophy of science guys (Bachelard, Koyré, Cavaillès, among others). Zalamea's work has had an indirect influence on some mathematicians working on foundational areas like category theory. Last time I checked a few years back there was a review of his book and listed in the philosophy readings of one of the main category theorists sites on the net run by mathematicians.

Shut the fuck up and stop treating philosophy like a fucking football team.

Are sociology, political assassinations, revolutions, Brecht's plays and poems branches of philosophy too? Remember that you asked even for indirect effects.

>Ok
But no one is denying analytic philosophy contributes to philosophical logic and the philosophy of mathematics and science in its eternal quest for the limits of language and reason. Where are the effects on the arts?

Blame OP for tossing the coin.

I'm not sure as I don't focus on aesthetics much. That being said Analytic aesthetics is its own branch of philosophy and has likely produced some level of influence or effect, I'm just not personally aware of it.

Continental philosophy has probably indirectly killed more people than any other academic discipline.

Maybe physics can take the throne if WW3 happens.

Change "continental philosophy" to "guns" and there you have it.

I wholeheartedly recommend Kevin McDonald, author of the Culture of Critique serious on the (((question))) of continental philosophy. Educate yourself OP.

Most prominent continental philosophers are/were white gentiles.
