Tract #11 Let's Deconstruct Mathematics
Let's deconstruct mathematics
Mathematics is based on abstract principles that do not correspond to social realities. Worse, they make inequalities invisible.
1 racialized person + 1 white person, do they make 2 equal humans? Of course not!
Mathematical equality in no way reflects the inequalities and individual differences present in our society.
There is an urgent need to deconstruct mathematics, to question these fixed norms and to bring about a more critical reflection on power relations and existing discrimination.
