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 \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2014-08-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401738002\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/0-306-47213-9\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 235cm x155cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 270\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47369022341260,"sku":"9789401738002","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401738002.jpg?v=1775681674","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401738002","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
