atpp-1101	Fisherman, Daniel	Philosophy and the Faces of Abstract Mathematics	2013	9	.pdf	application/pdf	5484	295	54	To this end, I will present and analyze Hubert Dreyfus and Sean Kelly’s theory of “Shining,” a theory of action that postulates a causal path from meaningful experience to intrinsic motivation, and finally to “care-ful” or “effort-ful” action – precisely the path that would address the problem of motivation in high school mathematics. Unlike efforts to embed high school mathematics in a practical milieu, philosophical engagement with the nature of mathematics offers the possibility of connecting mathematics to the world without potentially compromising the abstract nature of its study.	cache/atpp-1101.pdf	txt/atpp-1101.txt
