This book reaches out to contemporary work in these broader fields; drawing on original sources in key areas such as Gadamer and Ricoeur's development of hermeneutics, Habermas' work in critical social theory, Schutz's social phenomenology, Saussure's linguistics and the post-structuralist analysis of Derrida, Foucault and Barthes. Through examining the writings of these major thinkers it is shown how language is necessarily instrumental in developing mathematical understanding; but a language that is in a permanent state of becoming, resisting stable connections to the ideas it locates. The analysis offered extends from children doing mathematics to teachers inspecting and developing their own professional practices.\u003cstrong\u003e'\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45282183774359,"sku":"9789401738002","price":3672.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9789401738002.webp?v=1769301395","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/mathematics-education-and-language-interpreting-hermeneutics-and-post-structuralism-9789401738002","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
