For this reason, the negation of classical propositional logic is often called ‘Boolean negation’.",

In Boole and most of his followers, the negation of a term is understood as the set theoretic complement of the class represented by that term. For this reason, the negation of classical propositional logic is often called ‘Boolean negation’.",
