Recensioner i media

“Ole Skovsmose begins his journey into the critical philosophy of mathematics with the advent of modernity. … Ole Skovsmose’s critical philosophy of mathematics fills a giant hole in contemporary philosophy. It offers a philosophy of applied mathematics, something that traditional philosophers have overlooked or turned away from. … . It is now urgent and vital that philosophers, mathematicians and indeed all citizens wake up to these challenges, expressed so forcefully and analysed so convincingly in this book.” (Paul Ernest, Philosophy of Mathematics Education Journal, Issue 42, December, 2024)
