"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.
