Aim of the Journal

The aim of this journal is to foster awareness of 
philosophical aspects of mathematics education and 
mathematics, understood broadly to include most kinds of 
theoretical reflection; to freely disseminate new thinking 
in these areas to interested persons; to encourage informal 
communication, dialogue and international co-operation 
between teachers, scholars and others engaged in such 
research and reflections.

Editorial policy. 

In keeping with the aims of the journal the editorial hand 
is used very lightly. This is an international unrefereed 
journal which aims to stimulate the sharing of ideas for no 
other reason than an interest in the ideas and love of 
discussion among its contributors and readers. If a 
contribution has some relevance to the broad areas of 
interest concerned, and contains some features of value it 
will be included; and these criteria are used very 
liberally.
