A Volume in The Montana Mathematics Enthusiast:Monograph Series in Mathematics EducationSeries Editor Bharath Sriraman, The University of MontanaPaul Ernest's name is synonymous with social constructivism as a philosophy ofmathematics. His contributions to mathematics education have occurred at a veryfundamental level and to an extent shaped theory development in this field. Hisresearch addresses fundamental questions about the nature of mathematics and how itrelates to teaching, learning and society.

Paul Ernest's scholarlyevolution and life can best be summarized in the words of Walt Whitman "Do I contradict myself? Very well then Icontradict myself" (I am large, I contain multitudes).
