The examination of logical systems and reasoning practices as cultural phenomena, varying across societies and historical periods. It challenges the assumption that "logic" is a single, universal human capacity by documenting how different cultures reason differently—about contradiction, about causality, about classification. The anthropology of logic doesn't claim that logic is arbitrary, but that the particular logical systems we treat as natural and universal are actually learned, culturally specific tools for organizing thought. Aristotelian logic, Buddhist logic, and indigenous logical systems represent different cultural solutions to the problem of reasoning well.
Example: "The anthropology of logic reveals that the 'law of non-contradiction' isn't universal—some cultures have logical systems that comfortably accommodate what we'd call contradictions, treating them as higher truths rather than errors."

A branch of anthropology that examines the scientific method as a cultural practice—studying scientific communities as cultures with their own rituals, beliefs, norms, and practices around method. The anthropology of the scientific method uses ethnographic methods to investigate how scientists actually do science: how they learn methods through apprenticeship, how they decide which methods are appropriate, how they interpret results, how they resolve methodological disputes, how they teach method to newcomers, and how method functions as a marker of community identity. It reveals that the scientific method is not just a set of rules but a living cultural practice—embedded in particular communities, transmitted through particular relationships, and shaped by particular histories. Understanding method anthropologically means understanding it as a human activity, not just an abstract procedure.
Anthropology of the Scientific Method Example: "Her anthropology of the scientific method research involved two years embedded in a physics lab, watching how postdocs actually learned to design experiments. The official method said one thing; the cultural practice said another. The real method was what the community did, not what the textbooks said."

He seeks an exuberant amount of attention that he lacks at home unless it’s his mother telling him he’ll be a football player (he won’t). He believes every girl is in love with him and you can never see his eyebrows.
