Beschreibung
The book Critical Mathematics Education provides my recent contribution to the further development of critical mathematics education. It gives examples of learning environments, which invite students to engage in investigative processes. It discusses how mathematics can be used for identifying cases of social injustice, and it shows how mathematics itself can become investigated critically. Critical Mathematics Education addresses issues with respect to racism, oppression, erosion of democracy, sustainability, formatting power of mathematics, and banality of mathematical expertise. It explores relationships between mathematics, ethics, crises, and critique.

Ole Skovsmose has published what I might call his magnum opus, a 280-page synthesis and extension of his work simply called Critical Mathematics Education. In it he brings together his deep philosophical understanding and theorisation of mathematics itself, mathematics in society from a critical perspective, and mathematics in the teaching, learning and formation of students. For the mathematics education community, especially those concerned with social justice, philosophy, critical pedagogy and the nature of mathematics this is likely to be the publishing event of the year. In this book he offers something lacking in the literature, a philosophy of applied mathematics, as well as much more. Paul Ernest, Emeritus Professor, University of Exeter, UK
Contributes to the further development of critical mathematic education Is relevant for any kind of mathematics teacher education and for in-service training of teachers Addresses examples from primary, secondary, as well as from university education

“Critical Mathematics Education by Ole Skovsmose (2023) is presenting an overview of his life‘s work as the intellectual father of the Critical Mathematics Education (CME) Paradigm. … All principles are illustrated throughout the book in 18 chapters. Articles are grouped in four parts, which is only a suggestion to guide you through the chapters as they can be read in any order one might prefer. ... The CME book is appropriate to all mathematics teachers (of all levels).” (Karen François, Philosophia Mathematica, Vol. 32 (1), February, 2024)
“I have been privileged to share some of Ole Skovsmose’s journey with him. I admired his first English language publications on critical mathematics education, and we have been in touch for almost forty years. … His enterprise is bigger than any one of us and I am delighted be in the position to introduce, via review, this very important, special and definitive philosophy of critical mathematics education.” (Paul Ernest, Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal, Issue 41, February 2024)
“Ole Skovsmose offers us new and radical ways of reading and writing about mathematics education. … The book will inform your current research and practice. Whether such research is reflecting on personal professional practice or developing new research projects, any chapter will offer you new and interesting directions for future travel and useful reading to support this travel. Perhaps most importantly, the book defines a field. That field, that terrain, is critical mathematics education.” (Anthony Cotton, Educational Studies in Mathematics, September 20, 2023)
