George Boole (1815-1864) is often considered a mathematician but he saw himself as a philosopher. He wanted to represent Aristotle's logic with formulas, like Descartes had done with Euclides's ideas.

Gottlob Frege (1848-1925)
Turing's 1936 paper "On Computable Numbers, with an application to the Entscheidungsproblem" was a response to Hilbert's decision problem, which asked if there's an algorithm capable of determining if any arbitrary mathematical statement is true or false.
The significance of Turing's paper lies not in its answer but in the blueprint for computer design Turing provided along the way.

writing keeps ideas in space
speech lets them travel in time
we use paintings to decorate space
and music to decorate time
⠀ ⠀

find the way by moonlight
see the dawn before
the rest of the world

unconscious time, no peace of mind,
falling in space but still alive.
sketching the future in a single line,
everything's spinning, cannot sit down.
moments in space, places in time,
thoughts penciled in, now come to life.

As of today, no one knows how to translate paintings, flowers or music into language. Their beauty is implicit and exclusive to their form, which is why it's so hard to explain how a particular piece of art makes us feel.
