Abstract

In chapter 3, it can be seen how mathematical reason is inherently rather than inci-dentally social. In this situation, Vygotsky suggests investigating those situations where something social – e.g. mathematical reasoning or mathematical classifying – first appears in the life of a person in her relation with another person.
