| Title: |

The approach used by Boole in Mathematical analysis of logic to develop propositional logic was based on the idea of 'cases' or 'conjunctures of circumstances'. But this was dropped in Laws of thought in favor of one which Boole considered to be more satisfactory, that of using the notion of 'time for which a proposition is true'. We show that, when suitable clarifications and corrections are made, the earlier approach— which accords with modern logic in eschewing the extraneous notion of time—is indeed a viable one. |
