I always felt the philosophy of Spinoza and Leibniz would be the best candidates for the foundation of a philosophy of computer science.

Leibniz did invent binary arithmetic didn't he? And if I'm not mistaken his inspiration for it came from the I Ching, which was one of the original founding documents of ancient Chinese philosophy (i.e. yin and yang => 0 and 1).
