This research aims to map and analyze the nexus between philosophy and computer science: ontological and epistemological, as well as axiological aspects. It is arguably known traditionally that philosophy is regarded as the mother of all rational sciences; However, there has been little hitherto discussion about the connections between the two. Computer science is always interested in how human mind works and behaves and try to mimic its ability to solve many problems, but unfortunately lack of meaning. On the other side, philosophy is systematic inquiry into human mind and behavior as well in order to give the meaning in every object of study. For computer scientists, understanding the nexus between philosophy and computer science will advance the ability to think through the consequences of novel ideas and widen the perspective. The results reveal that there are strong connection between these two disciplines, mainly in epistemological and axiological aspects. On axiological and ethical aspect, the link is very important, and philosophy has potential role in ethical problem solving that arise from within the academic discipline of computer science
