Theorem bj-currypeirce

Description: Curry's axiom curryax (a non-intuitionistic positive statement sometimes called a paradox of material implication) implies Peirce's axiom peirce over minimal implicational calculus and the axiomatic definition of disjunction (actually, only the elimination axiom jao via its inference form jaoi ; the introduction axioms olc and orc are not needed). Note that this theorem shows that actually, the standard instance of curryax implies the standard instance of peirce , which is not the case for the converse bj-peircecurry .
