Perspectives on Mathematical Practices - Bringing Together Philosophy of Mathematics, Sociology of Mathematics, and Mathematics Education (Paperback, Softcover reprint of hardcover 1st ed. 2007)

In the eyes of the editors, this book will be considered a success if it can convince its readers of the following: that it is warranted to dream of a realistic and full-fledged theory of mathematical practices, in the plural. If such a theory is possible, it would mean that a number of presently existing fierce oppositions between philosophers, sociologists, educators, and other parties involved, are in fact illusory.
