Answer by Avshalom for Has philosophy ever clarified mathematics?

Perhaps it has been cited elsewhere in this context, but Hilary Putnam's 1980 short essay "Models and reality" brings together mathematics and philosophy in its discussion of $V = L$ and the Loewenheim-Skolem theorem: http://www.princeton.edu/~hhalvors/teaching/phi520_f2012/putnam1980.pdf

Another source of recent interaction is the field of axiomatic theories of truth (Kripke, Herzberger, Leigh and Rathjen and others). For example: http://www1.maths.leeds.ac.uk/~rathjen/AbsoluteEnd_Truth.pdf

Maybe these are examples of mathematical logic clarifying philosophy...
