Theorem pm2.65 649
Description: Theorem *2.65 of [WhiteheadRussell] p. 107. Proof by contradiction. Proofs, such as this one, which assume a proposition, here 𝜑, derive a contradiction, and therefore conclude ¬ 𝜑, are valid intuitionistically (and can be called "proof of negation", for example by Section 1.2 of [Bauer] p. 482). By contrast, proofs which assume ¬ 𝜑, derive a contradiction, and conclude 𝜑, such as condandc 871, are only valid for decidable propositions. (Contributed by NM, 5-Aug-1993.) (Proof shortened by Wolf Lammen, 8-Mar-2013.)
