Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal
Overview
The Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal is a peer-reviewed open-access academic journal published and edited by Paul Ernest (University of Exeter). It publishes articles relevant to the philosophy of mathematics education, a subfield of mathematics education that often draws in issues from the philosophy of mathematics. The journal includes articles by internationally recognized and beginning researchers, graduate student assignments, theses, and other pertinent resources.
The journal aims to foster awareness of philosophical aspects of mathematics education and mathematics, understood broadly to include most kinds of theoretical reflection and research; to freely disseminate new thinking and to encourage informal communication, dialogue and international co-operation between teachers, scholars and researchers in mathematics, philosophy and education.
Recent authors have included: Brian Greer, David W. Jardine, David W. Stinson, Christopher H. Dubbs, Kathleen Nolan, Margaret Walshaw, Nicolas Balacheff, Ole Skovsmose, Paul Ernest, Tony Brown, Roberto Baldino and Tânia Cabral, Roy Wagner, Sal Restivo, Steven Khan, Ubiratan D'Ambrosio, Yasmine Abtahi.

Of all the à priori sciences of reason, therefore, mathematics alone can be learned. Philosophy—unless it be in an historical manner—cannot be learned; we can at most learn to philosophize.
Immanuel Kant, The Critique of Pure Reason

Meanwhile every mathematical proposition remains always a universal truth, which is valid for innumerable particular cases; and a graduated process from the simple to the complicated propositions which are to be deduced from them, is also essential to mathematics; therefore, in every respect mathematics is a science. The completeness of a science as such, that is, in respect of form, consists in there being as much…

Under present conditions the scholastic method, for most persons, means a form of knowing which has no especial connection with any particular subject matter. It includes making distinctions, definitions, divisions, and classifications for the mere sake of making them--with no objective in experience. The view of thought as a purely physical activity having its own forms, which are applied to any material as a seal…
