On the Epistemological Limits of Language: Mathematical Knowledge and Social Practice during the Renaissance.
Radford, Luis
Educational Studies in Mathematics, v52 n2 p123-50 2003
Examines the relationship between mathematical knowledge and social practices of the Renaissance. Suggests that all efforts to understand the conceptual reality and the production of knowledge cannot restrict themselves to language and the discursive activity, but that they also need to include the social practices that underlie them.
