Logicalology

The study of logic as a socially constructed system—how logical rules are determined, taught, and used, and how logic can become an instrument of social control. Logicalology examines why certain logics (classical, binary, non‑contradiction) are privileged over others (dialectical, paraconsistent, fuzzy) and how this privileging serves institutional power. It studies how appeals to “logic” are used to dismiss alternative perspectives, how logical training functions as gatekeeping in philosophy and science, and how the very definition of “irrationality” is weaponized against marginalized groups. Logicalology treats logic not as a neutral tool but as a cultural and political practice.

Example: “His logicalology showed that the demand for ‘logical consistency’ in political debates often serves to exclude anyone whose experience doesn’t fit binary categories—using logic to police rather than to clarify.”

Logicalology

The study of logic using methods analogous to Sovietology or Kremlinology—analyzing official statements, institutional practices, and textual clues to infer the hidden rules, power dynamics, and unspoken assumptions that govern how “logic” is actually deployed in communities. Logicalology treats logic not as a timeless, universal system but as a socially constructed practice with its own rituals, hierarchies, and exclusions. It asks: who gets to define what counts as logical? How are logical norms taught and enforced? What contradictions are allowed or disallowed? By treating logic as an object of cultural and political analysis, logicalology reveals the human interests behind seemingly pure reason.

Example: “His logicalology research showed that in analytic philosophy departments, certain logical forms were treated as ‘obviously correct’ while others (dialectical, paraconsistent) were dismissed without argument—a power dynamic, not a proof.”
