The systematic elaboration of logical privilege as a framework for understanding the politics of reasoning. The Theory of Logical Privilege argues that logic is not a neutral tool but a field of power—that some logical systems are privileged, others marginalized, and that this privilege reflects social hierarchies, not cognitive superiority. It traces how Western logic became dominant, how it was used to justify colonialism and exclusion, how other logical traditions were suppressed. It doesn't reject Western logic; it calls for examining its privilege and opening space for other logics. The Theory of Logical Privilege is the foundation of logical decolonization.
