Selected Writings on Philosophy and Adult Education

This updated edition of Selected Writings on Philosophy and Adult Education reflects developments in the field of adult education since Philosophical Foundations of Adult Education was originally published in 1984. Included in this edition are selections representing critical theory, phenomenology, and feminist theory. Further, new material reflecting more traditional philosophical traditions has been added, such as selections from Bloom's The Closing of the American Mind, Nadler and Nadler's Developing Human Resources, and Mezirow's Fostering Critical Reflection in Adulthood. These and other additions complement "classic" selections by Dewey, Lindeman, Skinner, Freire, and others.
