(2000) A Boole anthology, Dordrecht, Springer.
Was George Boole really the "father" of modern logic? I confess that I regard this question as rather academic, because it is not possible to answer it convincingly. A typical answer to questions of this kind is: "it depends". In our case it depends on what is meant by the "father of a scientific discipline", it depends on the understanding of modern logic, and it even depends on one's own attitude towards the notion of scientific development.
