The myth of the universal common sense

The notion of universal logic consists of the idea that there exists a single system of reasoning that governs all thought.
This concept has dominated western philosophy for a long time even if it rests on a very shaky foundations.
This myth suggests that logical principles represent timeless truths rather than just useful tools developed within a particular cultural context.
Thinkers have tried to codify these universal principles into a unified logic, while treating any deviations from it as errors in thinking rather than alternative approaches.
These alternatives reflect genuine differences in how various types of valid reasoning could also exist.
Logic should be a neutral tool for discovering and understanding existing truths.
Recognizing the plurality of valid reasoning patterns opens the space for understanding how different communities and disciplines organize their thinking, and how logical norms themselves evolve in response to new the challenges and discoveries peculiar to each one of these communities.
The real problem with believing in universal logic is that it makes us think that our way of reasoning is the only valid one. This keeps us from learning other approaches and blinds us to the limitations of our own thinking patterns. 

Logic isn't a universal truth we discover, it is just a collection of tools that we create and refine based on what works in specific situations and contexts.
