Modern mathematical logic would not exist without the analytical
tools first developed by George Boole in The Mathematical Analysis
of Logic and The Laws of Thought. The influence of the Boolean
school on the development of logic, always recognised but long
underestimated, has recently become a major research topic. This
collection is the first anthology of works on Boole. It contains
two works published in 1865, the year of Boole's death, but never
reprinted, as well as several classic studies of recent decades and
ten original contributions appearing here for the first time. From
the programme of the English Algebraic School to Boole's use of
operator methods, from the problem of interpretability to that of
psychologism, a full range of issues is covered. The Boole
Anthology is indispensable to Boole studies and will remain so for
years to come.
