An Investigation of The Laws of Though - Softcover

Father of Boolean algebra, George Boole, published An Investigation of the Laws of Thought in 1854. His work is an investigation of the fundamental laws of human reasoning. Further expanding upon ideas explored in earlier writings. Using the symbolic language of mathematics Boole establishes a method by which the nature of the human mind may be examined using logic and the theory of probabilities. Boole considers language not just a mode of expression, but as a system by which one may understand the mind. Certainly one of history’s most insightful mathematicians, Boole is compelling reading for any student of intellectual history.
