In this article, the writer of the book "The Philosophy of Mathematics Education" wishes to acknowledge some of the support, help and encouragement he received in writing this book. Colleagues at the Research into Social Perspectives of Mathematics Education seminar, convened by Steve Lerman and Marilyn Nickson, have heard early versions of some of the theses of the book, and contributed, through their criticism. The writer has also learned a great deal from the papers given by others at this seminar, since 1986. Members of the group, especially Leone Burton, Steve Lerman and Stuart Plunkett, have made very useful criticisms of the text. It would not have been possible for the writer to write this book without the support and encouragement of his family. Indeed, his intellectual progress from the absolutist position he held twenty years ago is in no small part due to his incessant arguments and discussions with his wife about life, the universe and everything. In addition, she has read much of the book critically, and helped him to improve it.
