To use an analogy--mathematics is abstract logic, but many of its branches have very practical applications in engineering, natural sciences, etc. What are the practical applications of philosophy?

I could think of 3: the application of occam's razor in the scientific method, the use of political philosophy in determining constitutions and the role of government, and cognitive psychology-type branches for use in artificial intelligence. are there others?
