The one on Language of Thought is good: http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/language-thought/.

This is an extremely interesting subject: Does our thought process follow linguistic patterns? Do we use our native language to think or is there a deeper, universal "language" we think in? If the latter, how can that be? Etc.

I found it by searching for Gödel's Incompleteness Theorems [http://plato.stanford.edu/entries/goedel-incompleteness/]
"The safest general characterization of the European philosophical tradition is that it consists of a series of footnotes to Plato." - A. N. Whitehead (co-author of Principia Mathematica along with B. Russel)
