Question: What good did philosophy do!?
Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Philosophy significantly improved the extent to which mankind OBJECTIVELY perceives the world around him!.

Less successfully, it has caused man to reflect inwardly in an attempt to glean a greater meaning for human life!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

G Philosophy focused the mind on examining the rules we make up on how to live!. What we do with the results of that examination is karma!. Without changing karma, philosophy is an exercise for the idle!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It helps us accept the world as it is because we feel we have a better understanding of it!. Whether we actually do or not is besides the point!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It made us wiser!. But I don't know if you would call that a good!. I don't think you will get a satisfying answer!. Sorry!. =) Best wishes!Www@QuestionHome@Com
