the reduction of hypotheticals to categoricals
Sriram Nambiar
pp. 217-239
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.
