A framework that critiques the universalization of Western logic and epistemology as tools of colonial domination, and seeks to recover or construct alternative epistemic systems rooted in Indigenous, African, Latin American, and other colonized traditions. Decolonial logico‑epistemology argues that Western reason was imposed alongside military and economic power, delegitimizing other ways of knowing as “superstition” or “myth.” It promotes epistemic disobedience and the delinking of knowledge from Eurocentric standards. Central concepts include epistemic justice, border thinking, and the pluriverse.
