Abstract

Abstract: We offer a response to three themes arising from the commentators’ inquiries and critiques: (a) The epistemological compatibility of enactivism and conceptual metaphor theory; (b) the way enactive metaphorization works in the teaching and learning of mathematics, particularly in problem-posing and problem-solving activities; and (c) the nature of mathematical abstraction and its relation with enactive metaphorizing.
