 | 
|  |     55 | <H2>What is the Semantics for Classical Logic?</H2>
 | 
|  |     56 | 
 | 
|  |     57 | In the intuitionistic case, the answer to this question is well-understood -
 | 
|  |     58 | essentially a semantics is given to all proofs in normal form and all other
 | 
|  |     59 | proofs inherit this semantics from the normal forms they reduce to. This 
 | 
|  |     60 | implies that:
 | 
|  |     61 | 
 | 
|  |     62 | <blockquote>
 | 
|  |     63 | (1) reductions preserving the semantics of a proof. 
 | 
|  |     64 | </blockquote>
 | 
|  |     65 | 
 | 
|  |     66 | 
 | 
|  |     67 | It is widely known that this assumption causes any reasonable semantics 
 | 
|  |     68 | for classical logic to collaps. In the literature Lafont's example is
 | 
|  |     69 | often cited for this observation.<p>
