Classical (or Boolean) type theory is the type theory that allows the type inference (σ → –)→ –⇒ σ (the type counterpart of double-negation elimination), where σ is any type and – is absurdity type. This paper first presents a denotational semantics for a simplified version of Parigot’s lambda-mu calculus, a premier example of classical type theory. In this semantics the domain of each type is ...
