BOOLE, George (1815-1864). An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which are founded the mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities. London: Walton and Maberly and Cambridge: Macmillan and Co, 1854.
BOOLE, George (1815-1864). An Investigation of the Laws of Thought, on which are founded the mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities. London: Walton and Maberly and Cambridge: Macmillan and Co, 1854. 8 o (225 x 143 mm). Original black cloth (rebacked); morocco folding case. Provenance : Stillman Drake (1910-1993), Galileo Galilei Bibliographer (bookplate). FIRST EDITION, probable first issue. Boole invented the first practical system of logic in algebraic form, which enabled more advances in logic to be made in the decades of the nineteenth century than in the twenty-two centuries preceding. Boole's work led to the creation of set theory and probability theory in mathematics, to the philosophical work of Peirce, Russell, Whitehead, and Wittgenstein, and to computer technology via the master's thesis of Claude Shannon who recognized that the true/false values in Boole's two-valued logic were analogous to the open and closed states of electric circuits.
