The critical theory that certain logical systems are privileged—treated as universal, neutral, and authoritative—while others are marginalized, dismissed, or invisible. Western classical logic enjoys logical privilege: it's taught as logic itself, not as one logic among many. Indigenous logics, Eastern logics, feminist logics are treated as alternatives at best, deviations at worst. Theory of Logical Privilege exposes this hierarchy, asking who benefits when one logic is treated as the logic, and whose knowing is silenced when other logics are dismissed.
