The conceptualization of time in Boole's algebraic logic
pp. 241-255
Abstract
In the Laws of Thought, Boole abandoned the interpretation of secondary propositions based on the notion of "conjunctures of circumstances' (or in terms of the "uni-verse of cases") as proposed in Mathematical Analysis of Logic,1 and developed an original semantical theory based upon temporal relations between propositions.2 This new approach emphasizes the notion of duration in order to give a temporal interpretation of several propositions and thereby to determine the respective periods of their duration.
