contents Phenomenology, Praxis, and the Question of Mathematical Objects Luis Radford Educación sense praxis sensation Phenomenology mathematical objects n this article, I discuss some aspects of the manner in which phenomenology has dealt with the question of the nature of objects of knowledge and the knowability of such objects. I focus on Kant’s phenomenology and consider in particular some ontologi - cal presuppositions that make Kant’s phenomenology both Platonist and anti-Platonist. Then, I make a brief incursion into Hegel’s phenomenological approach and Marx’s critique of Hegel, Kant, and German idealism in general. In the last part of the article, I comment on Marx’s idea of praxis as an entirely new path to tackle the question of the nature and knowability of objects of knowledge. I discuss some of the implications of such an idea for mathematics education. I end up sketching a Hegelian dialectic materialist concept of knowledge that provides room for understanding knowledge as something ineluctably embedded in cultural praxis. 2014 artículo científico 0187-8298 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=40540854007 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=405 Educación Matemática application/pdf Sociedad Mexicana de Investigación y Divulgación de la Educación Matemática A.
