Using the analyses of real data and analyses of the way certain concepts are used in the scientifi c literature, such as ?meaning,? this book reframes the discussion about «meaning», «mental representation», and «conceptions» consistent with the pragmatic approaches that we have become familiar with through the works of K. Marx, L. S. Vygotsky, M. M. Bakhtin, V. N. Volo?inov, L. Wittgenstein, F. Mikhailov, R. Rorty, and J. Derrida, to name but a few. All of these scholars, in one or another way, articulate a critique of a view of language that has been developed in a metaphysical approach from Plato through Kant and modern constructivism; this view of language, which already for Wittgenstein was an outmoded view in the middle of the last century, continuous to be alive today and dominating the way language is thought about and theorized. 410 0$aNew Directions in Mathematics and Science Education ;$v1 606 $aEducation 606 $aEducation 615 0$aEducation. 615 14$aEducation. 676 $a370 700 $aRoth$b Wolff-Michael$0305220 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910438341103321 996 $aOn meaning and mental representation$92492416 997 $aUNINA
