Human Logico‑Epistemology

An approach that centers the lived, embodied, and social dimensions of human reason, rejecting both formalist and naturalist reductions. Human logico‑epistemology studies how real people in real contexts use logic, make epistemic judgments, and navigate uncertainty. It draws on cognitive science, ethnography, and humanistic psychology to understand reasoning as a human activity, not a purely abstract or neural process. It emphasizes that logic and knowledge are always someone’s logic and knowledge.
Human Logico‑Epistemology Example: “Her human logico‑epistemology research interviewed climate scientists about how they handle uncertainty, revealing that they use heuristic logics not captured by formal models.”
