In this paper a suitable definition of ``norm of differential'' and the notion of critical points are introduced for continuous functionals on metric spaces. By means of this new definition, the classical results of Lyusternik-Schnirelmann on critical point theory for smooth functionals on manifolds are extended to continuous functionals on complete metric spaces. Applications of these new techniques are presented to obtain a multiplicity result on solutions of an elliptic variational inequality.
