The Laws of Thought, more precisely, An Investigation of the Laws of Thought on Which are Founded the Mathematical Theories of Logic and Probabilities, is a very influential 19th century book on logic by George Boole, the second of his two monographs on algebraic logic. It was published in 1854.George Boole was Professor of Mathematics of then Queen's College, Cork in Ireland (now University College Cork, where the Boole Centre for Research in Informatics is named in his honour) Boole's work began the discipline of algebraic logic, and is often, but mistakenly, credited as being the source of what we know today as Boolean algebra. In fact, however, Boole's algebra differs from modern Boolean algebra, in that in Boole's algebra A+B cannot be interpreted by set union, due the permissibility of uninterpretable terms in Boole's calculus, and so algebras on Boole's account cannot be interpreted by sets under the operations of union, interesection and complement, as is the case with modern Boolean algebra.
