The interdisciplinary study of logic as a human phenomenon—how we actually reason (as opposed to how ideal logic says we should), how logical skills develop, how logical systems emerge from human practices, and how logic functions in art, rhetoric, and everyday life. It draws on cognitive psychology, neuroscience, anthropology, and philosophy to understand logic not as a platonic ideal but as a living human capability, with all the messiness, creativity, and limitation that entails.
Example: "The human sciences of logic explain why people are so bad at the Wason selection task—our brains evolved for social reasoning, not abstract logical puzzles."
