In the Light of Intuitionism: Two Investigations in Proof Theory This dissertation focuses on two specific interconnections between the clas- sical and the intuitionistic proof theory. In the first part, we will propose a formalization for Gödel's informal reading of the BHK interpretation, using the usual classical arithmetical proofs. His provability interpretation of the propositional intuitionistic logic, first appeared in [1], in which he introduced the modal system, S4, as a formalization of the intuitive concept of prov- ability and then translated IPC to S4 in a sound and complete manner. His work suggested the search for a concrete provability interpretation for the modal logic S4 which itself leads to a concrete provability interpretation for the intutionistic logic. In the first chapter of this work, we will try to solve this problem. For this purpose, we will generalize Solovay's provabil- ity interpretation of the modal logic GL to capture other modal logics such as K4, KD4 and S4. Then, using the mentioned Gödel's translation, we will propose a formalization for the BHK interpretation via classical proofs. As a consequence, it will be shown that the BHK interpretation is powerful enough to admit many different formalizations that surprisingly capture dif- ferent propositional logics, including...
