Abstract

George Boole (1815–1864) is widely regarded as the founder of mathematical logic. Many influential logicians at the beginning of the twentieth century, a time of rapid growth in logic, credited him with originating the tradition in which they worked. Many influential historians of logic credit him with playing a pivotal role in transforming logic from the mold in which it was set from ancient times to the dramatically growing mathematical form it has assumed in more recent times.

I am then compelled to assert, that, according to this view of the nature of Philosophy,Logic forms no part of it. On the principle of a true classification, we ought no longer to associate Logic and Metaphysics, but Logic and Mathematics (Boole 1847, 13).
