Abstract ::  

A natural deduction system [1] is presented for polarized, intuitionistic, propositional logic with several interesting properties [2]: it has a privileged relationship with a standard focused sequent calculus [3]; it enjoys the subformula property; polarity decides whether the elimination rules are generalized or not [4]; there are no commutative conversions; and even atomic formulas have introduction, elimination and normalization rules. In the corresponding polarized lambda-calculus, reduction follows a paradigm that subsumes both call-by-name and call-by-value [5].
