No Injection from Power Set to Set/Proof 1

Theorem

Let $S$ be a set.

Let $\powerset S$ be the power set of $S$.

Then there is no injection from $\powerset S$ into $S$.

Proof

Aiming for a contradiction, suppose $f: \powerset S \to S$ is an injection.

By Injection has Surjective Left Inverse Mapping, there is a surjection $g: S \to \powerset S$.

But this contradicts Cantor's Theorem.

Thus there can be no such injection.

Law of the Excluded Middle

This proof depends on the Law of the Excluded Middle, by way of Injection has Surjective Left Inverse Mapping.

This is one of the axioms of logic that was determined by Aristotle, and forms part of the backbone of classical (Aristotelian) logic.

However, the intuitionist school rejects the Law of the Excluded Middle as a valid logical axiom.

This in turn invalidates this proof from an intuitionistic perspective.
