A broad interdisciplinary field that critically examines the foundational concepts of evidence, science, and logic—not as universal tools, but as historically and culturally situated practices. It draws on history, philosophy, sociology, and anthropology to show that what counts as “evidence” changes across contexts, that “science” is not one thing but many, and that “logic” is a family of systems, not a single universal standard. These studies aim to replace naive scientism with nuanced understanding.
Example: “Her work in studies of evidence, science, and logic showed that the ‘gold standard’ of randomized controlled trials emerged from agricultural research in the early 20th century—not from eternal reason, but from a specific historical context.”
