I don't see why not. It's always a useful exercise to take a step back and see how things from different domains might connect up. It's also useful to understand how a discipline has evolved. Computing and information seem like very fundamental concepts now that we've stumbled upon them so it seems right and proper that we figure out how these things interface with all the other things we know about.

Incidentally I've seen Wadler suggest we call the field Informatics. I'd prefer that I think. The word science is doing too much work nowadays and computer science is only a science in the formal science kind of way, if that's even correct. It's definitely not a science in the way biology or chemistry are. By that reasoning I'd prefer the philosophy of informatics. Floridi has suggested the philosophy of computing and information but that's cumbersome. There's also philosophy of the digital which tries to cast its net the widest.
