Critical Analysis of Evidence, Science, and Logic

A methodological approach that applies critical theory to the concepts of evidence, science, and logic themselves. It asks how these concepts have been used to exclude, silence, and naturalize power. It reveals that appeals to “evidence” can mask epistemic injustice, that “science” can function as a gatekeeper for colonial knowledge hierarchies, and that “logic” can be weaponized against those whose reasoning does not fit classical norms.

Example: “The critical analysis of evidence, science, and logic revealed that the demand for ‘evidence’ from indigenous communities was often a demand for assimilation—proof according to Western standards became a tool of epistemic violence.”
