An Investigation of the Laws of Thought by George Boole
"An Investigation of the Laws of Thought" by George Boole is a mathematical treatise published in 1854. This groundbreaking work seeks to provide mathematical foundations for Aristotle's logic through equations, extending logical analysis beyond traditional two-term propositions to handle arguments of arbitrary complexity. Boole introduces algebraic methods to logic, creating a system where logical problems become equations to be solved. Though it founded algebraic logic, his approach differs significantly from what later
became known as Boolean algebra, particularly in how terms can be manipulated. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
