Math Proofs, Gender Proofs
In this paper I argue that predominant gendering practices support a proof ideal similar to the one operative in mathematics, contributing to the erasure and assimilation of countercultural practices. After fleshing out the analogy, I argue it can be productive: in gender as in mathematics, there is room for rethinking what we mean by—and want from—proof. The proposal is to think of gender in terms of an agent’s gender grounds , i.e., the set of …
How logic(ian)s disagree
Philosophical accounts of disagreements within logic tend to focus on how logics themselves disagree with one another, such as how their theorems or (meta)inferences diverge, while neglecting the theoretical disagreements that lead to the advocacy of these logics. This has several shortcomings, amongst which it fails to explain why disagreements over the correct logic occur in the first place, as well as overlooking the possibility of substantive…
Critical Math Kinds
Mathematics, even more than the other sciences, is often presented as essentially unique, as if it could not be any other way. And yet, prima facie alternative mathematics are all over the place, from non-Western mathematics to mathematics based on nonclassical logics. Taking inspiration from Robin Dembroff’s analysis of critical gender kinds, and from Andrew Aberdein and Stephen Read’s analysis of alternative logics, in this paper I will introdu…
Feminist logic, broadly speaking
I argue that the continued focus on the possibility question - whether feminist logic can exist as a respectable practice - has several harmful consequences. First, it invites the association of feminist logic with substantial positions in the philosophy of logic, which unnecessarily leaves room for dismissing the field a priori. Second, it invites a systematic reading of feminist logicians as arguing in isolation from their logical practice, whi…
The Contribution of Logic to Epistemic Injustice
While much has been said on the connection between dominant rationality standards and systemic oppression, the specific role of logic in supporting epistemic injustice has not received much explicit attention. In this paper I highlight several ways in which it is possible for logic – as a discipline, as a particular system and as a gloss for rational common sense – to be implicated in epistemic injustice. Concrete examples are given for testimoni…
