Theorem
From Peirce's Law:
- $\left({p \implies q}\right) \implies p \vdash p$
follows Clavius's Law:
- $\neg p \implies p \vdash p$
Proof
By the tableau method of natural deduction:
Line | Pool | Formula | Rule | Depends upon | Notes | |
---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
1 | 1 | $\neg p \implies p$ | Premise | (None) | ||
2 | 2 | $p \implies \bot$ | Assumption | (None) | ||
3 | 2 | $\neg p$ | Sequent Introduction | 2 | Negation as Implication of Bottom | |
4 | 1,2 | $p$ | Modus Ponendo Ponens: $\implies \mathcal E$ | 1, 3 | ||
5 | 1 | $(p \implies \bot) \implies p$ | Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ | 2 – 4 | Assumption 2 has been discharged | |
6 | 1 | $p$ | Sequent Introduction | 5 | Peirce's Law |
