An extreme, dogmatic adherence to formal logical rules as the exclusive measure of valid reasoning, while dismissing any other form of understanding—intuition, emotion, context, or lived experience—as inherently irrational. The logical fanatic demands that every argument be reduced to syllogisms, rejects any inference that isn't explicitly deductive, and treats ambiguity or nuance as logical failure. This stance ignores that real‑world reasoning often requires probability, pragmatics, and values. Logical fanaticism is less about actual logic and more about using “logic” as a weapon to silence alternative modes of thought, often by accusing others of “fallacies” without engaging substance.
