Although many agree that all teaching rests on a theory of knowledge, this is an in-depth exploration of the philosophy of mathematics for education. Building on the work of Lakatos and Wittgenstein, it challenges the notion that mathematical knowledge is absolute.
First published in 1991. What is mathematics, and how can we account for its nature? What philosophies of mathematics have been developed? What philosophical assumptions, possibly implicit, underpin the learning of mathematics? What are the aims of mathematics education and are they valid? What philosophical assumptions, possibly implicit, does mathematics teaching rest on? This study looks at these questions on the philosophy of mathematics.
