Dissociated Logic Theory A metalogic fallacy where logic is seen as a disembodied, contextless set of rules that exists independently of the humans who create and use it. This dissociated logic is then treated as a universal referee, incapable of accommodating diverse perspectives, cultural differences, or legitimate disagreements. It assumes there is only One True Logical Path, branding any deviation as "irrationality" or "error." It denies the inherently social and situated nature of reasoning.
Dissociated Logic Theory Example: During a team conflict, one member insists, "There's only one logical way to solve this problem," and presents a single, rigid flowchart. They dismiss alternative solutions from colleagues as "emotional" or "confused," unable to recognize that different lived experiences and professional backgrounds might lead to other, equally valid logical frameworks. The dissociated logic becomes a tool for intellectual domination.
