This is the  essential question in  Towards a Philosophy of Critical Mathematics  Education. The question forms the basis of an approach to the  clarification of such notions as: crises, democracy, the Vico-paradox,  mathematical formatting, reflective knowing, learning as action,  personal fatalism and underground intentions.  The subject matter  considered is the project-organised mathematics education undertaken  in primary and secondary school. It is shown that the concept of critical mathematics education is  crucial for every educational theory. As the book explains, if  humanity is submerged in technology, and if modern technology is to a  great extent constituted by mathematics, then the implicit and  explicit  functions of mathematics education assume a fundamental  importance.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57106800279926,"sku":"9789048144259","price":202.34,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/orig_39715462_7d79618b-6abd-42a8-9730-f614c22d90c4.jpg?v=1769694125","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9789048144259-towards-a-philosophy-of-critical-mathema","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
