Theorem

$\vdash \paren {p \implies \neg p} \implies \neg p$


Proof 1

By the tableau method of natural deduction:

$\vdash \paren {p \implies \neg p} \implies \neg p$
Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
1 1 $p \implies \neg p$ Assumption (None)
2 1 $\neg p$ Sequent Introduction 1 Proof by Contradiction: Variant 3: Formulation 1
3 $\paren {p \implies \neg p} \implies \neg p$ Rule of Implication: $\implies \II$ 1 – 2 Assumption 1 has been discharged

$\blacksquare$


Proof 2

This proof is derived in the context of the following proof system: Instance 2 of the Hilbert-style systems.

By the tableau method:

$\vdash \paren {p \implies \neg p} \implies \neg p$
Line Pool Formula Rule Depends upon Notes
1 $\paren {p \lor p} \implies p$ Axiom $\text A 1$
2 $\paren {\neg p \lor \neg p} \implies \neg p$ Rule $\text {RST} 1$ 1 $\neg p \, / \, p$
3 $\paren {p \implies \neg p} \implies \neg p$ Rule $\text {RST} 2 \, (2)$ 2

$\blacksquare$
