Do filters on a Boolean algebra also make a Boolean algebra?

Let $\mathfrak{B}=(B,\bot,\top,\lnot,\wedge,\vee)$ be a boolean algebra. $B_F$ be the set of all filters on $\mathfrak B$. And for all filter $F$, $G$, $F \wedge_{B_F} G \colon= \mathbf C(F \cup G)$ ...

We know that if $M$ is a left $R$-module, then $(\{\text{submodules of }M\},\subseteq)$ is a modular lattice. Taking $M\!=\!R$, we deduce that $(\{\text{ideals of }R\},\subseteq)$ is a modular ...
