A subfield that studies logic as a social practice—how logical systems are developed, taught, and used within communities, and how logical authority is established and contested. The sociology of logic examines why certain logics become dominant, how logical training functions as gatekeeping, how logical controversies (e.g., over paraconsistency or intuitionism) reflect social as well as technical disagreements, and how logic is used in professional boundary‑work. It challenges the image of logic as a purely formal, ahistorical discipline, revealing its embeddedness in social institutions and power relations.
