Classical Negation can be Expressed by One of its Halves

2015

We present the logic K=2 which is a logic with classical implication and only the left part of classical negation. We show that it is possible to dene a classical negation into K=2 and that the classical proposi-tional logic K can be translated into this apparently weaker logic. We use concepts from model-theory in order to characterized rigorously this translation and to understand this paradox. Finally we point out that K=2 appears, following Haack's distinction, both as a deviation and an extension of K.1
