The book emerges from several contemporary concerns in
mathematics, language, and mathematics education. However, the book
takes a different stance with respect to language by combining
discussion of linguistics and mathematics using examples from each
to illustrate the other. The picture that emerges is of a subject
that is much more contingent, much more relative, much more subject
to human experience than is usually accepted. Another way of
expressing this, is that the thesis of the book takes the idea of
mathematics as a human creation, and, using the evidence from
language, comes to more radical conclusions than most writers
allow.
