We give an analysis of various classical axioms and characterize a notion of minimal classical logic that enforces Peirce’s law without enforcing Ex Falso Quodlibet. We show that a “natural” implementation of this logic is Parigot’s classical natural deduction. We then move on to the computational side and emphasize that Parigot’s λ μ corresponds to minimal classical logic. A continuation constant must be added to λ μ to get full classical logic. The extended calculus is isomorphic to a syntactical restriction of Felleisen’s theory of control that offers a more expressive reduction semantics. This isomorphic calculus is in correspondence with a refined version of Prawitz’s natural deduction.
