"From mathematics to philosophy", by Hao Wang is rather good, but
there has been a lot of progresses since. It is a vast subject, which
is often treated with not enough rigor. Here computer science and
mathematical logic can add rigor when some assumption are taken
explicitly into account, like the computationalist hypothesis in the
cognitive science. Most scientist believe that the belief in a primary
physical universe is consistent with computationalism, but it is not.
You will find more information on this in my URL.
