Critique as Uncertainty (Hc)

A volume in the series The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast: Monograph Series
in Mathematics Education. Series Editor: Bharath Sriraman, The University of Montana
The title of the book is Critique as Uncertainty. Thus Ole Skovsmose sees
uncertainty as an important feature of any critical approach. He does not assume
the existence of any blue prints for social and political improvements, nor that
certain theoretical structures can provide solid foundations for a critical
activities. For him critique is an open and uncertain activity. This also applies to
critical mathematics education.
Critique as Uncertainty includes papers Ole Skovsmose already has published as
well as some newly written chapters. The book addresses issues about: landscapes of investigations, students'
foregrounds, mathematics education and democracy, mathematics and power. Finally it expresses concerns of a
critical mathematics education.
