Boole’s Logic and Probability: Critical Exposition from the Standpoint of Contemporary Algebra, Logic and Probability Theory by Theodore Hailperin
Requirements: .PDF reader, 25.9mb
Overview: This increased activity and the new results – the chief one being that Boole’s work in probability is best viewed as a probability logic – were influential circumstances conducive to a new edition. Chapter 1, presenting Boole’s ideas on a mathematical treatment of logic, from their emergence in his early 1847 work on through to his immediate successors, has been considerably enlarged. Chapter 2 includes additional discussion of the “uninterpretable” notion, both semantically and syntactically. Chapter 3 now includes a revival of Boole’s abandoned propositional logic and, also, a discussion of his hitherto unnoticed brush with ancient formal logic. Chapter 5 has an improved explanation of why Boole’s probability method works. Chapter 6, Applications and Probability Logic, is a new addition. Changes from the first edition have brought about a three-fold increase in the bibliography.
