Mathematics (and computer science) is often taught independent of philosophy, which is a loss for both fields.
Lovecraft captured well that feeling with Cosmic Horror. But, you know, in the 20's, 30's, 40's, scifi writters evolved. Outdated, romantic foes (specially the French and German romanticism) keep bitching over and over about the pure and 'simple' past, as if the universe had a meaning per se. And they are utterly lost. Forever.
Archimedes and Euclides won over Aristotle. Guess why. Math itself it's the Logos.
