Abstract	This article is a critical commentary on inferentialism in mathematics education. In the first part, I comment on some of the major shortcomings that inferentialists see in the theoretical underpinnings of representationalist, empiricist, and socioconstructivist mathematics education theories. I discuss in particular the criticism that inferentialism makes of the social dimension as conceptualized by socioconstructivism and the question related to the objectivity of knowledge. In the second part, I discuss some of the theoretical foundations of inferentialism in mathematics education and try to answer the question of whether or not inferentialism overcomes the individual-social divide. In the third part, I speculate on what I think inferentialism accomplishes and what I think it does not. (As Provided).
