Ethnomathematics : A Political Challenge to the Philosophy of Mathematics
Original language description
The paper considers the future of the philosophy of mathematics in exploring its political dimension and its political potential. Political potential of philosophy of mathematics is demonstrated on the issue of ethnomathematics, i.e., a program that explores mathematical ideas that were (and are) developed in different cultural groups independently of the development of Western mathematics. The main question is: How to use the ethnomathematicians' philosophy of mathematics to achieve political goals? This question is broken down into two sub-questions, namely: What sort of the philosophy of mathematics is adequate for ethnomathematical program and for what reasons? What role does ethnomathematics attribute to the philosophy of mathematics? Ethnomathematical program challenges the supremacy of values of Western mathematics and accuses it of hegemony over cultural mathematics (in postcolonial countries).
