Resumo: In this paper, we are going to consider the question about the relationship between research in mathematics education and social change. First, we make the argument that a militaristic mentality constituted the main factor that led to the historical rise of mathematicians and mathematics teachers, as well as mathematics and mathematics education as autonomous social practices of research. Next, based on Whitehead’s aesthetic aphorism, stating that the function of reason is to promote the art of life, we will assert the need to counter this militaristic mentality by developing an ethical-political education based on current or past social uses of mathematics, which are never neutral in relation to these ethics. Key-words: Mathematics Education Research; Militaristic Mentality; Ethical-Political Education.

Num primeiro momento, argumentaremos em favor do ponto de vista de que a mentalidade bélica teria constituído o principal fator que teria levado ao surgimento histórico do matemático profissional e do professor de matemática, bem como ao surgimento da matemática e da educação matemática como práticas sociais autônomas de pesquisa. Em seguida, com base no aforismo estético de Whitehead de que a função da razão é promover a arte da vida, argumentaremos em favor da necessidade de se combater essa mentalidade bélica através do desenvolvimento de uma educação ético-política baseada em usos sociais da matemática, no passado e no presente, que nunca são neutros em relação a essa ética.
