Infralogical Literacy

The ability to understand the infrastructure that makes logical reasoning possible—the notation systems, educational practices, institutional frameworks, and social conventions that shape how logic is taught, used, and valued. Infralogical literacy reveals that logic is not a pure, abstract enterprise but a human practice embedded in material and social conditions.
