The application of Critical Theory to the cognitive sciences—examining how assumptions about mind, brain, and cognition reflect social values, how cognitive science can reinforce hierarchy, and how it might serve liberation. Critical Theory of Cognitive Sciences asks: Whose mind is studied? Whose cognition counts as normal? How do concepts like "intelligence" and "rationality" carry cultural baggage? How might cognitive science be complicit in ableism, racism, or neurotypical bias? It doesn't reject cognitive science but insists it must be self-aware about its assumptions and its politics.
